I stopped at Aldi for produce, milk & cottage cheese.

Total Out of Pocket = $11.44

 

I also stopped at Price Chopper for the 3 Day Sale & to get the FREE July Kid's Club item.

This is not the best deal ever but I found this Martha Stewart Batter Bottle at Macy's for $9.99.  I always use a ladel when I make pancakes or waffles and end up with batter everywhere.  This bottle seemed like a simple solution.  Leave it to Martha to come up with a solution (She probably doesn't get batter everywhere when she makes pancakes!)  I can't wait to try it out!

Total Out of Pocket = $9.99


Total Money Spent this Week = $92.20

  1. Great shopping trips! I bought a lot of the same school supplies at Walgreens. Did you purchase your Staples items in more than one transaction? My Staples would only allow me to buy 2 of the .01 items with a $5 or more purchase.

  2. Brenda,
    According to the ad you can buy one of each $.01 item so I only did one transaction. If that happens again you might want to politely talk to a manager.

  3. That's a great idea to talk to a manager next time, thanks Amy.
