Family On A Budget

I am unfortunate enough to live in an area with a small number of grocery stores nearby. GE’s prices are pretty high and make it not worth buying the bulk of my food, but with some coupons and sales matching you can often get good deals.

In looking at the ad for the week here are some good deals. Many of the coupons are in this weekends paper so it might be best to wait till Sunday to shop.

Quaker Oats are on sale for 4 for $6.00. When you purchase buy 4 you will get an additional $2.00 off instantly. In the 1/4 RedPlum coupon inserts there was a $.60 off coupon. If you have 4 coupons your pricing will be – $6.00 – $2.00 instant coupon – $3.60 (.60 off x 4) – 3.60 (double coupon .60 off x 4) = FREE (or a potential money maker depending on how they ring it up). I really prefer steel cut oats, but for free I will make the sacrifice. I plan on bringing in one of the containers to work with a large microwave bowl and some cinnamon to make inexpensive quick breakfasts instead of hitting up the cafeteria.
