Savings period ending Dec 12

I have been traveling a lot lately so I just haven't kept up with posting my savings. I will post everything for the last month on this entry. Since I was away a few times I didn't bother going grocery shopping. I only had few extensive trips to the store where I could focus on my coupons and pairing deals.

Target 11/14/09

I don't keep track of the Target store savings as well here since the receipts don't do itemize it for me. I only shop here about once a month or so anyway to primarily get toiletry items like toothpaste, soap, mouthwash, cleaning supplies, etc. Usually I have decent coupons that I pair with sales for the food items though. TIP: Kashi cereal is usually a full $2.00 cheaper at Target than at any other grocery store. I can't believe they sell it so cheap. A staple item I always get is the Heart to Heart cereal. It's only $3.49 here compared to $4.99 or more at Ralphs.

Souplantation

I finally decided to use one of those buy one meal get one free with the purchase of two beverages. This is a great deal since it's a buffet of salad, soups, pizzas, pastas, breads, muffins and all sorts of other sweet desserts. They had this chocolate lava brownie thing that was amazing. They also had pies and frozen yogurt. I loved the corn muffins.  This is such a great value. The regular price for a dinner is $9.69 so we got that free. Each drink cost $2.29.

Souplantation Savings: $9.69

D'Angelo
This is an east coast sub sandwich chain. I had a nice coupon for $3.00 off any sub. I got a chicken parm and it was good. They actually don't put breading on the chicken so it's relatively healthy. I, of course, got it without cheese.

Total Savings: $3.00
