Well……it seems I could not give up on the soup limit at Hyvee. I had 3 coupons for $1.00 off of Campbell soup when you buy 5 cans of soup.

The problem was, Hyvee’s limit was 4 cans of soup.

So….it dawned on me that I could do a sale price match up at Walmart. Walmart did not have a limit on how many cans of soup you could buy. In other words I could use my $1.00 off coupons off of 5 cans of soup. The soup was on sale for .48 and with the coupons I could get another .20 off of each can. This brings the soup down to .28 a can.

This works for me!

For just $8.70 plus tax, I got 15 cans of Campbells soup and 2 cans of Progresso Soup.

I think I made my point about limits.

Please do not get me wrong. I think reasonable limits are fine. Like 5 cans of soup instead of 4.

I still love’em Hyvee!

In other shopping news;

I bought some organic honey, because my sister, Niener Wiener told me about this honey. It taste just like the honey we grew up eating. So, now I am addicted to this honey to the point that I have put mouse traps about the bottle so my honey loving kids will stay out of it.

Well, really I didn’t. Not, that it did not cross my mind.

I also did a small amount of shopping at Sam’s. Has anyone figured out how to walk out of there without spending $100.00. I managed to just spend $12.62 on groceries.

I ended the week with just $8.23 left in my weekly budget.

I decided to start my tally over and start fresh last week and try to keep a more accurate amount of money I spend on groceries each week. This is just groceries. It does not included household stuff like toilet paper, cleaning supplies, dish soap. Though, with coupons I usually can buy those at a pretty decent price.

As of Sunday the 13th, I had $8.23, plus I get to add my $75.00 for the beginning of a new week.

This gives me a new total of $83.28 to start the week with.

Wish me luck!
