Quick trip to Farm Fresh

On my way home from work tonight, I needed overnight diapers for our big boy, so I figured I would swing through Farm Fresh and pickup some of their sale items and take advantage of their super double coupons on Wednesday. On Wednesdays, they double coupons up to $1.00 in value. So, if you have a $1.00 coupon, you end up saving $2.00. Here is a summary of my order:

Prego pasta sauces- Regular price $2.39 each and are on sale for 2/$3.00. I had two .50/2 coupons. I bought 4 jars for $1.00 each. ($9.56 regular price for 4 jars and I paid $4.00)

Kikoman sauces- Regular price is $2.99 each and are on sale for $1.89. I had two $1.00 coupons. They doubled those, so I bought 2 bottles of sauce and they PAID ME .11 per bottle to take them out of the store!!! ahhhh....major SCORE. ($5.98 regular price for 2 bottles and I was paid .22 to take them out of the store)

Land O Lakes Margarine- Regular price is $2.39 each and are on sale for $1.25 each. I had a .50 coupon, which was doubled, so I paid only .25!

Tyson Ready steak strips- Regular price is $3.99 and on sale for $2.99. I had a $1.00 coupon, which they doubled, so I got that for .99. Not sure why I didn't buy another package, since I had another $1.00 coupon, but o-well. We have not had this type yet, so I guess I should be sure we even like it.

Unfortunately, the diapers made my trip a little less impressive, since I had to buy them at full price. Overnight Huggies diapers (23 in package) for $11.19. I did have a $1.50 coupon, which made them $9.69 (.42 per diaper--I just vomited when I saw the number on the calculator!). This is why it is so important for me to be buying these things

TOTAL before sales and coupons $33.11
TOTAL after all deductions $14.71 ($9.69 of which were diapers)

So, the diaper situation, kinda sucked the fun out of the awesome deals I got on the other items.

There are not really any big deals this week, so it should be a light shopping week. Really only need produce, milk, and some dairy items.

Hoping to post an update tomorrow on the meal planning document I was making. Let's just say, I have abandoned my efforts and have found one online that I am excited to share!
