Frugal Times- Grocery Deals Lincoln, NE



Hello all! I really can not NOT tell you about how much fun saving money is. I attached pictures my big purchases from last night Shopping Extravaganza at Super Saver. Again…Super saver is super sneaky. They price matched Hyvee’s yogurt (which was .30) and put it on their shelf for .28!! Yeah for usJ If you haven’t started just glancing at the ads, planning at least one meal a week…starting new in May is maybe a good time to start. It is completely amazing. I spent $43.84, used 12.59 in coupons, and price matched all items except 2. I bought 46 items…so that equals to about .95 per item…that included a whole chicken, two DiGorno pizzas, FUN TIMES!

For example, I got 1 gallon of milk for $1.25 with a sale and a coupon. As I was giving another gentleman a coupon at the milk section last night, I realized that I was getting a better price for a whole gallon than I could have bought a ½ gallon. Here are the sales within the sales for this next week. I have also changed my shopping day to Tuesdays…to get the best of the weekly sales and the weekend sales.

Also for coupon match-ups go to http://www.chicksdigdeals.blogspot.com/. They spend hours finding price matched items…so it is worth your trip (i.e. I got DIGORNO pizza last night for $1.25 thanks to them!!! BTW, our family has never eaten Digorno and it was delish…but a major delicacy!

I had to put a picture of my boys saying, “Cheese!” because they were saying that the entire time I was setting up the picture…because they WANTED the cheese!

Have a great Mother’s Day!

I am SOOOO jealous! It's tough to price match and the sales aren't nearly as good out here b/c there's not much competion. And I am impressed. Way to go!
