Since I was pretty much restricted to shopping my stockpile today (see prior post), I was only able to escape the monkey house after 4 pm.  Naturally, I had to head to Jewel to snatch up nine more Tostitos using those expiring wts.  I saw a few more of those Old Wisconsin snack bites, so tossed them in the cart, too.  Two of those $1.29/lb corned beef and one lonely Smart Balance milk completed the order.  SB is on sale 2/$5 through, I believe, the 17th, but they only had the one, so I’ll hit them up later in the week using the $2/1 from 3/27 S2.  So what did I end up paying?  I used wts for the four snack bites and nine Tostitos.  Found two $1 corned beef wts, so those went into the mix.  I used two expiring $2 RRs and ended up $1.98 OOP.  Dates on the chips are 6-8 weeks away – THE BOY and I ate one whole bag this afternoon...it was not one of my atkins days…

Headed on over to the Woodridge Dominicks, but stopped first at Wags to check out the Tasters Choice or lack thereof.  You guessed it, lack thereof.  But I ended up rolling quite a few of my RRs using a combination of the Luster White toothpaste, Similac cans of formula and gel pens.  I ran six transactions, using varying amounts of formula and toothpaste, ending up rolling five $4 RRs and one $2 RR expiring today.  Note that the Luster White is $5.99 this week (next week is $4.99), but I needed to roll those RRs.  Total OOP was $13.06 (high tax toothpaste); I got back six $4 RRs.

Last stop was Dominicks to score the .99 asparagus – we loves us our asparagus!  Added three of the Girard’s dressing, large bunches of bananas, two Fresh Express, red seedless grapes and a 50% off package of 7% fat premium burgers with blue cheese and pepper (and no snarky comments about my eating habits, if you please).   Last time I shopped here I was able to use three RRs – this time one.  Had I known, I would have broken down the transaction.  I ended up using just one $5 RR and two $2 coupons on the Girard’s.  Just4U prices were:  bananas at .48/lb; red grapes at .79/lb and the Fresh Express salad was .99.  My OOP was $13.02.  ouch
