My shopping at HyVee and Hen House (week of March 6th) Spent $46 for about $82 worth of stuff

So these deals are all good thru Tuesday, March 12th if you see something you like.  Almost half of my purchases were meat and milk.  Milk prices are ridiculous these days!  Almost $4 at Hen House for skim milk - that is nuts!

I did the Tostitos at HyVee which were 3/$6.  All you had to do was show the HyVee coupon which is in their flyer in the store.  I also got Chobani for $.70 with coupon, more shredded cheese for 99 cents, and popcorn.  Popcorn was not on sale,  but it is a necessity for me as I have a bowl of popcorn EVERY night after the kids go to bed.  My reward to myself.
Spent about $16 for $27 retail here.

Most of my money was spent at Hen House this week.  They have 93-7% this week for $2.99, normally well over $4.00.  I bought 5 pounds and spent $15 dollars.  I also got the milk for like $4, yuck! Eggs were 99 cents and I picked up the Kraft Fresh Takes for $1.00 with coupon from coupons.com. coupons.com
 I spent $30 for $55 retail here. 

I will probably do the Tostitos thing again before Wednesday and will certainly get some more shredded cheese.  They have a limit of 2, but you can buy some each time you go there throughout the week.  You can never have too much shredded cheese, right?  I was just having this conversation the other day with one of my great friends.

Please read the following!
One thing to think about for those of you who don't coupon.  I did not use many coupons this week at the grocery store, only for the Kraft Fresh Takes and the Chobani.  Everything else was just bought because it was a stock up price.  Anyone can do this!  No coupons necessary!

An example is the ground beef.  I have seen the 93-7% meat as high as $4.50 a pound.  When it goes to $2.99, I will stock up.  I can make 16 meals out of this amount and that should last me the month.  So instead of going out next week and spending $4.50 on meat, I have bought it at its lowest price and do not have to pay a crazy price for it.

If you have any questions about stock up prices, please ask.  I feel like I have a really good handle on most of them by now.
