Big Lots Stop!


Joe and I stopped into Big Lots yesterday while we were waiting for a prescription to be filled at CVS, and because we were in need of some bins, which aren't pictured...
1 bottle Pure Vanilla Extract $3
2 pkgs Jimmy Dean Peppered Gravy Mix @ 0.50 ea = 2/$1
1 box Sleep Aid $1
1 pkg Rope $7
2 Bins 1 @ $9 + 1 @ $4.25 = 2/$13.25
+ $1.22
Total OOP: $26.47 + I got to scan my Big Lots Rewards Card :-)

Martin's Trip - Very Small :-)

This week's Martin's Trip was a little pathetic, but I was able to pick up the steaks for our vacation the end of this month, and not only were they on sale, but I also had a meat coupon to use - YAY!
2 bottles Hormel Bacon Pieces $1.64 ea - $0.14 ea Sale - $1/2 MC = 2/$2
2 pkgs Sargento Reduced Sodium Cheese $3.39 ea - $1.39 ea Sale - $0.75/1 MC doubled to $1.50 & $1/1 MC = 2/$1.50 or $0.75 ea!
1 pkg NY Strip Steaks $13.79 - $2.91 Sale - $1/10 Meat Purchase Martin's C = $9.88
Total OOP: $23.85 - $10.47 Sales & Coupons = $13.38, savings of 44%! Not a great percentage, but but when you figure $10 of my total was steak, it makes me feel a lot better :-)
