I love that L’Oreal Vive Shampoo/Conditioner! I got a box of Apple Jacks at Wal-Mart for $.64 It was $1.64 a box and I used a $1.00 off coupon. I was pretty excited about that!

Thanks for the pictures & lists each week. Since you shop at Dillons, any chance you’d consider doing a Dillons deals posting like you do for CVS & Walgreens? I find your posting style one of the easiest to read. Were the grapefruits on markdown or was that a sale price, 25c each? I missed that in our ad, but maybe our ads run different dates (ours is Wed-Tue).

Okay, I’ve gotta ask…

How are 2 adults and 2 kids going to eat 12 grapefruit and 2 bags of oranges before they go bad? How long do grapefruit keep anyway? Is there something else you’re doing with them that I’m not thinking of?

Money Saving Mom here: Considering the fact that we love fruit–especially citrus fruit–and can go through four grapefruit in a day no problem, I don’t think it’s going to be an issue.

However, I bought enough to last us for two weeks since citrus fruit keeps at least for three weeks and these were the best prices I’d seen all year long (tangerines were 9 for $1.69 and the grapefruit were $0.25 each!).

If only my juicer hadn’t broken, I would have likely bought twice as many!

Just out of curiosity, what would you make with this trip’s food for your family for this weeK? I cannot see how you do it! Would you please share your ideas? Thanks so much!

I got a lot of free cookie mix this week, some free cereal, cocoa mix, air freshener, frosting, frozen veggies and toilet paper! I did buy other things, but I just posted my super deals. Our weekly average for the three of us for groceries, household items and toiletries is about $30, and with that we are stocking up some extras and giving things to the local food pantry too!

I have been having a great time using $1/1 Wild Harvest coupons at Jewel to get whole grain pasta at 25 cents a pound. It just so happens that pasta is the one food my pregnant body wants lately. Thank goodness it’s whole grain.

Did anyone else receive a card like this from Helzberg Diamonds? I am not sure how I received it. I have never purchased anything there!
