Couponing Week 2

This has bee an AMAZING week of couponing.  I loved watching the cashier scan all my groceries and watching the cost go up and up...and then I hand the coupons over and the price goes way down!
This week Lowes Foods had "super doubles" meaning not only did they double coupons under $1...they doubled coupons up to $1.98! 
Here is what I got:

I paid $14.74 for all of the above...the only things I didn't buy with coupons or on sale was the pasta sauce and the bananas.  The rolls were under a dollar and will last Adam and I for three meals.  The gum was .33 each.  The cake mix and frosting was under a dollar (total) and will be used for Z-man's b-day.  With this shop I saved almost $20!

I also did well at Harris Teeter:

I think I have fulfilled my Pillsbury need for the rest of my life...I did make a rookie mistake, I thought the croissants were on sale but the store brand ones were and the labels at the store were sort of messed up.  I still did well,  the cookies were about 9 cents, the frozen green beans were 19 cents...my savings don't seem amazing as a total because I bought strawberries, grapes, blueberries and some noodle bowls and milk which I didn't have coupons for.  I saved almost $42 just under 50%.

And I went to CVS:

This was last weeks shop and I made 2 transactions.  The first transaction I bought the NyQuil and the nature fusion (normally about $9 each) for a total of $8.81 plus I got $3 in extra care cash which I used on the rest of he items.  This trip should have cost me about $42.  I paid under $19.  I was never one to get protein shakes but now that I don't get lunch every day they give me a little "boost" until Z takes a nap and I can make a sandwich.

This week I got this for just over $4 when one pizza usually costs around $4!

and made a second trip to Lowes Foods:

I paid a total of $14.95 when I should have paid over $40!  The Capri Suns were free (and a great drink for kids that come to Z-man's b-day) V8 Splash (my favorite juice) were $1.50 each, the eggs were $1.25 oh and they paid me 50 cents to take the water out of there.

Oh and...those noodle bowls I bought BOGO without a coupon had a coupon in the box so I went back just to get a couple more with the coupons while they were still BOGO:

The original cost was $4 each...I paid $2.04 with taxes!  I love when the check out person makes a comment about how much I saved!  And, no, Adam did not finish the other noodle bowls I just stole the coupon out of them.

Most of what I bought is good meals for when Adam works late...when he works really late he doesn't like a heavy meal so the noodle bowls are perfect and now that Z-man eats real food the Mac and Cheese are perfect for the nights when it's just the two of us...plus it's an upgrade from the boxed mac and cheese.  I still buy meat in bulk from BJ's and I was really proud of myself when Adam asked for cold medicine and I had some in the cabinet (usually we buy the medication after we feel sick).  Starting today Harris Teeter is having Super Doubles (don't worry I am not going crazy...just picking up a few things).
