Search: label/Giant Eagle Deals

Giant Eagle appears to have added a new (or new to me!) feature to their site that I think is pretty cool. You can view a complete list of otherwise unadvertised Catalina deals on the Giant Eagle website here. These particular deals are valid through August 5th.

My friend Erin over at $5 Dinners just launched a super exciting new feature on her site today! She is now hosting Bargain Meal of the Week which will feature recipes (by store) using the items that are on sale each week!

My friend Susan at Everything Mom will be providing meal ideas for Kroger, Giant Eagle and Meijer which is also very exciting! One of my favorite frugal bloggers Jennifer at Getting Ahead will also be writing meal ideas for Giant Eagle sale items.

This week I shopped at CVS and Giant Eagle. I may still make a run to Kroger, but I just couldn’t get my butt to Meijer this week despite some of the great deals.

Earlier in the week I posted about my first trip to CVS in quite awhile. I was able to get $45 worth of stuff for $24. You can view the details of my transactions here.

My best deals at Giant Eagle were:

* 3 – 64 oz. Juicy Juice – $1.50/ea after sale plus coupons
* 3 – 8 pack Juicy Juice boxes – $1.50/ea after sale plus coupons
* 4 – 5 lb. bags of Domino Sugar – 1 @ $0.99/ea and 3 @ $1.39/ea after sale plus coupons

Plus I also had $4 in store coupons that I earned while shopping sales there last week. My total out of pocket at Giant Eagle this week was $51.42. You can view how I matched sales with coupons here.

My total spent out of pocket this week for groceries and household/toiletry items was about $75. I still have $15 left in my budget for this week which I’ll probably end up spending at Kroger. My total saved with coupons was approx. $34.

Have a wonderful weekend!

One of my financial goals for October is to shop with cash only at the grocery store. For one entire month. I have started using cash only for other things (mostly extras like eating out and getting my hair done), but I really want to try to use cash on groceries this month in an effort to stick to our grocery budget.

Thursday is pay day in our house, so I ran to the bank this morning and took out enough cash for groceries and for our weekly “allowance” (used for coffee, eating out, saving for “extras” etc…). I came back and planned out my shopping list, using my Giant Eagle and Kroger posts, and my list of things we are currently out of as my guide.

One thing that I try to do when writing out my grocery list is to write the estimated cost of each item in the margin. I then total up my estimated amount spent, and adjust it according to what I have available to spend on groceries for the week. This saves me tons of time in the store, and I don’t have to be quite as diligent about adding things up in my head as I shop because it is right there on my list. I usually just have to keep track of the variances (for example: bananas cost $0.50 less than I planned, tea $1 more etc…).

After determining what is on sale, what I need, and what I am going to buy at each store, I pull my coupons out of my binder and place them in separate envelopes for each store. Because I pay my bills online, I use the envelopes that I would normally mail a check in. I read this tip on another blog a few months ago and this has helped save money on envelopes.

Then I pack up my 2 year old and head to the store. And yes, I am one of THOSE moms that bribes her child with a lollipop (bought on sale after Valentines Day, of course! :-) so that I can actually think while I am shopping. This keeps me from spending too much.

I typically put my blinders on and stick to my list. My problem with going over budget each month has nothing to do with me making unplanned purchases by the way…my issue has been feeling like I *had* to buy something because it was on sale. Meaning every time I spent more than my weekly budget I knew I was going to do it before I actually did it. I’m working on that…

So anyway…back to today. I had a budget of $50 at Kroger and $30 at Giant Eagle based on sales/coupons and my needs. I ended up spending $53.20 at Kroger and $28.96 at Giant Eagle. Fortunately I had a few extra dollars in my wallet to cover the slight overage. I will detail a few of my deals this weekend for Super Savings Saturday.

I must say that using cash is such a freeing experience!! I don’t have to wait for my transactions to clear, I won’t get any surprises in my credit card bill at the end of the month…nothing. I’m done! I’m looking forward to next week, to see if I am up to the challenge again. :-)

What about you? Do you shop with cash? If not, is this something that you have considered trying in an effort to curb credit card spending and/or going over budget? I would love to hear your thoughts!
