Well, I was on track to make my new $45 weekly budget, but it all got messed up at my last store. Vons is usually the best place I go to when it comes to coupons, but this week I just had a lot of problems. On the plus side, I am amply stocked on snacks :)
Ralph's
Lawry's Fajita Seasoning .79 - .50 MFC (doubled to 1.00) = -.21
2x cream of potato soup .79 = 1.58
2x Dell Monte pineapple chunks .99 (clearanced) = 1.98
Lettuce = .99
1.33 lbs oranges = 1.02
Chuck Roast = 5.43
Lunchmeat = 2.50
Reeses Cup .60 - .55 MFC (doubled to .60) = FREE

Carefree panty liners 1.99 - $1 MFC = .99 (gave $2 RR)
Thermacare heat wrap 2.49 - $1 MFC = 1.49 (gave $2.50 RR)
Total = 6.61
Received 4.50 in RR for next trip
Vons
Well this was just one of those trips where nothing went right. Stuff rang up at the wrong price, I didn't get deals I was supposed to get (buy 4 of certain items get $4 off), the cashier missed scanning some of my coupons, none of my shortcuts or cellfire e-coupons were applied... the store was packed, they were short on checkers and baggers... really, it was like a perfect storm of shopping mayhem. Anyway, bottom line is I spent way more than I planned. I should have spoken up and tried to get them to fix some of these issues, but I just wasn't in the mood to deal with it. I'm lousy at confrontation :(
(I'm not going to itemize this trip since everything was goofed up)
Total = 33.49
Weekly Total = 59.51
