I spent more than I normally would on this trip, for a special reason – it’s Jai’s birthday today! I asked him what he’d like to have for his birthday meal, and made my list around that, whether the items were on sale or not. But I was still able to save $26.73 with my coupons, so that was something.

Oh, and in case you were wondering: the birthday boy will be having Frosted Mini-Wheats, PB&J sandwiches, cheesecake, and cherry cola for his b-day celebration.

So on to what I bought:

.3 lbs of organic, fair trade coffee – I always need coffee! Final price: $3.00
1 12-pack of Wild Cherry Pepsi – Jai’s favorite! Final price: $4.59
1 2-litre of Cherry Coke – see above. Final price: $1.72
1 5 lb. bag of Gold Medal Flour – I was almost out of flour, and I will need it to make bread for those sandwiches! The Safeway brand was on sale for less, but completely sold out; so the cashier said that I could substitute this brand for the same price: $2.29.
1 box of Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats – on sale for $3.49, used one $1.50/1 catalina – I actually found this catalina at the checkout a while ago, because the customer in front of me didn’t want it. Final price: $1.99.
1 box of Safeway brand frosted mini-wheats – I only had one catalina, and the store brand was the cheapest option for a second box without coupons! There was a better deal on mini-wheats last week, but I just didn’t have time to check it out. Final price: $2.29.
1 jar of Strawberry Jam – $2.99.
1 jar of Peter Pan peanut butter – used a coupon from the Safeway sales flier to bring the price down to .99 cents; I was then able to stack it with this .50/1 printable, which doubled – making the final price: Free plus .01 cent overage!
2 packages of No-Yolks noodles – on sale for $1.25, used two .75/1 printables, which doubled – making the final price: Free!
4 bags of Purina cat chow – on sale for $2.00 each, used four $3.50/1 printables – you may print two per person, so Jai and I both signed up. I love these coupons, because they are good on any size or variety of Purina cat food – so I was able to use these on the lower priced bags, resulting in overage. Final price: Free plus $1.50 overage per bag!
1 carton of 18 eggs – used a coupon from the Safeway sales flier, which made the final price .97 cents.
2 packages of cream cheese – yum, cheesecake! Final price: $1.49 each.
2 gallons of milk – it’s a better deal to buy two, and we go through a lot of milk. Final price: $1.99 each.
1 lb of Land ‘O Lakes Butter – on sale for $2.99, used one .55/1 printable, which doubled – final price: $1.94.
1 bottle of Draino – no special deals here, just a clogged sink!! Final price: $3.49.
1 package of sponges – I don’t have a dishwasher, so I go through a lot of these. Final price: $1.50.

I also earned one power pump reward, and another 125 miles in the United Mileage Plus GroceryMiles program.
