Made my shopping list last night as I viewed the ad (which i did indeed post yesterday). I printed out ONE coupon, brought my grocery cash envelope, a snack for the little girl and went to it!
I maximized the sales, scoured the 50% off sections and stuck to my list. If it wasn't on my list I had to be certain I had a use for it. Being naturally thrifty I am not one to make impulse buys anyway... I did let me little girl pick a fun chocolate-cherry yogurt from the 50% off bin, which she ate so it is not in the pic!
Grand total before club-card, before my one coupon is $113.75.
That is probably a fair price, I got a LOT of food! That bag of organic kale is HUGE and I got a lot of almond milk, pantry staples and that HUGE box of 'designer' wine which equals 4 total bottles!! (wow- can't wait to give that a try!!!)
After my single coupon, my Club Card AND my ibotta rebates (todays rebates are $1.50, don't belong to ibotta? sign for this free service here and use my referral code: xaofggi) my grand total is $59.11. Thats a huge savings!!!
I would say that is pretty dang good since I purchased fairly healthy food, didn't spend time clipping coupons and focused on food that we will actually be eating (no purchases 'just because its a bargain'= no food waste).
