Fry's Trip December 7th

Well I learned my lesson today. Never go to the store without a plan first. Usually I would have put together my shopping plan yesterday but I was sick so I figured I would just go and wing it. Big Mistake!! It took me forever to go through and pull the coupons while I was at the store. Not only that but I know I ended up spending more than I would have otherwise. I went way over my budget last month so I am trying to spend $250 or under this month.Check Spelling This trip was not a good start to that. Transaction Charmin TP (Reg. $8.69, Safeway Q for $5.99 - .25 Q tripled to $1 = $4.99) Boneless Chicken (Reg. $10.61, Sale $4.44) Boneless Chicken (Reg. $11.57, Sale $4.84) Boneless Chicken (Reg. $8.38, Sale $3.51) Boneless Chicken (Reg. $12.73, Sale $5.33) 2 pkgs Drumsticks (Reg. $4.50 & $4.48, Had a rain check for B1G1 = $4.50) Cotton Swabs (Reg. $2.59, Sale $1.50) Eggs (Reg. $3.19, Sale $2.49) Yoplait yogurt drink (Reg. $3.49, Sale $2.99 - $1.50 Q = $1.49) I can’t believe it’s not butter (Reg. $1.44 - $1Q = .44) Oceans Spray CranRaspberry juice (Reg. $3.99, Sale $2.50 - .55Q doubled to $1 = $1.50) Fresh Express Salad (Reg. $1.79 – Safeway Q = .88) Red Grapes (Reg. $6.01, Sale $1.55) I can’t believe it’s not butter spread (Reg. $2.89, Sale $2.39 - $1Q = $1.39) 2 Fry’s ½ gallon milk (Reg. $2.59, Sale $1) Bananas (Reg. $.29) Kroger Shredded Cheese (Reg. $5.99, Sale $3.50) Shortbread cookies (Reg. $1.69, Sale $1.37) Fry’s Apple Juice (Reg. $3.19, Sale $2.17) Fleishmann's Yeast (Reg. $2.79, Sale $2 - .45Q tripled to $1 = $1) 2 Red Star Yeast (Reg $2.49, Sale $1 - .75/2 Q doubled to $1/2 = .50 each) 4 Philadelphia Cream Cheese (Reg. $2.89, Sale $1.25) Kroger Basil Leaves (Reg. $2.69, Sale $2.02) Kroger ½ gallon OJ (Reg. $3.49, Sale $1) Celestial Seasonings tea (Reg. $3.79, Sale $1 = .55Q doubled to $1 = FREE) Natures Own Bread (Reg. $3.59, Sale $2 - $1Q = $1) 2 Kraft Marshmallows (Reg. $1.99, Sale $1) 2 Jiffy Cornbread Muffin Mix (Reg. $.59, Sale .44) I received a .50 coupon for my next trip for purchasing the Fleishmann’s Yeast.

I will make sure I plan better next time.
