Want to know something COOL? I've been trying to get to Bi Lo all week and it just didn't work out. Tonight I was able to go, but I had limited funds. I knew there were things on my list that just were going to have to wait a while.

I grabbed the potatoes (the main item I wanted) and shot over to the frozen foods looking for the Green Giant veggies that were on sale when I realized I didn't have the coupons I would need. No biggie...I wasn't that interested in them anyway.

I turned around and saw the yogurt section behind me. There were coupons taped to TONS of the yogurts. Well, my kiddos only like the Dannon LE CREAM and guess what???? They had 3 of them with $0.50 Q's. WOO HOO!!!! I SOOO wanted to pick up yogurt for "D" and have just put it off. What a BLESSING!

I had taken $20 with me and my total was $14.91. My change was $5.09. As I was leaving the store on my way to get "A" at scouts, I remembered I needed to pay DUES this week. Want to know how much DUES are per month?

$5.00!!!!

I was able to pick up some great deals at the grocery and still have money for scouts. Wonder how that worked out like that? ;-)

Thank you, God, for caring about our needs

(big or small)

I headed out to Bi-Lo today to pick up a few BOGO specials and ended up with all of this instead. Here's the low down on what I got:

They had ground chicken marked down from $3.29 per lb to $1.29 per lb. I bought 8 of these 1 lb packages.

They had a 1 lb package of ground turkey marked down from $2.50 to $1.00 so I snaped that up :-)

Then I found a nearly 4 lb pork butt marked down from $7.90 to $5.90.

Next came 2 packages of eye of round steaks. They were marked down from $4.99 to $3.38 each.

The Hormel bacon was BOGO. They were $5.49 each and BOGO put them at $2.95. I had $0.50 / 1 coupons that Bi-Lo doubled so my final cost of the bacon was $1.95 per 16oz package. I bought 4 of these.

The Tilapia was BOGO making them $4.00 each and I got 2 of these.

The Lay's chips were also BOGO making them $1.74 each and I got 2 of these.

Here's the most interesting purchase I made. The Sue Bee Honey was regularly $3.49 each. They were on sale BOGO making them $1.75 each. I had $1.00 / 1 coupons bringing my cost to $0.75 each. Well, that's pretty good, but wait.....

there were $1.00 peelies on the honey and the cashier used those as well!!

I told her it wouldn't work but she said she wanted to try it. The register beeped at her but she hand keyed them in. She said "I don't mind. I like being nice to my customers."

So the honey went from the regular price of $3.49 to +$0.25 in my favor! I bought 4 of them ;-)

My total before store savings and coupons: $103.19

My total out of pocket: $38.41

My total savings: $64.78

I feel so blessed! God really had a hand in this. I have been putting off my grocery trip knowing I was going to spend quite a bit this week. I knew this was the last day of the specials for this week and I needed to go get those items on my list. Well, most of that list went out the window and my menu has now changed for the week, but that's super fine with me.
