On Tuesday, I used the rest of my prescription gift card in conjunction with some good coupons to get $37.11 worth of groceries for $5.05 out of pocket:

Total spent: $5.05 out of pocket, put $20.22 on the gift card I earned by filling a prescription at Safeway.
Total before coupons: $37.11

2-liter of Refreshe cola – recently, I signed up for a free sample of Refreshe soda on the Safeway website (Offer has since expired). They actually delivered the sample in the form of a free product coupon, so I was able to pick up this 1-liter of cola (regularly .99 cents) for free – less the cost of the .05 bottle deposit, which I will get back later!
26 oz can of spaghetti sauce – regularly $1.69, I found this on clearance for 50% off, making the final price .84 cents. This will be great for making lasagna!
Two 2-lb bags of cheese – $3.99 each, total price for both: $7.98
2 Banquet fruit pies – regularly .79 cents each; I found a coupon booklet in Safeway with a variety of offers, including a coupon for .50 cents off two fruit pies. This coupon doubled, making the final price .29 cents each. These Safeway coupon booklets are blue and are marked “Over $70 in savings” – they can be found throughout the store, so keep your eyes peeled!
1 quart of Coffee-Mate – regularly $2.99, used a $1.00/1 coupon from the Safeway coupon booklet, which doubled; final price: $1.49.
5 Michelina’s frozen dinners – regularly $1.00 each, used a coupon from the Safeway booklet for $1.00/5, which doubled; final price: .70 cents each.
3.75 lb Cook’s pork shoulder – we’ve eaten a lot of Cook’s pork in recent months! 🙂 Regularly $7.46, used a $5 off coupon that I received after writing to the company, which doubled; final price: $1.96.
3.55 lbs of bananas – price: $2.45
2 green bell peppers – .79 cents each, total price: $1.58 for both
1.20 lbs of zucchini – price: $1.19
2.16 lbs of cabbage – price: $1.06
6 ears of corn – price: $2.00 for all six ears
2 lb bag of carrots – on sale for $1.09, used one .50/1 coupon that I got by writing to the company; final price: .59 cents.

Jai was impressed with my deals! 😉
