Sobeys, Walmart and RCSS Shops

Sobeys
I stopped in at Sobeys today to check for coupons and take advantage of the Chicken they have on sale.  Unfortunately they didn't have any coupons but I was able to get some Chicken




 Chicken = regular $8.79/lbs sale $3.49/lbs = $23.37 (saved $35.52)


Spent = $23.37
Saved = $35.52


It is a total of 10 Chicken Breast, they are huge and 2 will easily feed our family a meal with some leftovers.  So in total 5 meals.  So that is $4.67 a meal :)

Walmart
Next I made my way to Walmart to pick up some of the Flintstones Vitamins for my kids and some toothpaste.



2x Vitamins = regular $7.97 sale $5.97 + coupon $2.00 = $3.97ea (saved $8.00)
30x Colgate = regular $1.00 + coupon $1.50 = -$0.50ea

Subtotal = -$7.06
HST = $5.45

Spent = -$1.61
Saved = $53.00

RCSS
My last stop was at RCSS where I finished up our groceries for the week.  I price matched (PM) most items that I got and my cashier rang a few of the items in wrong, in my favour!  She put in the PM price of the produce as LBS but she should have put it in as KG. 



BBQ Sauce = regular $2.29 PM Loblaws $1.00 (saved $1.29)
Cheese = regular $4.29 PM Loblaws $1.00 (saved $3.29)
Milk = $4.37
Sandwich Meat = $3.24
2x Tortilla Shells = regular $3.19 sale $2.00ea (saved $2.38)
Bread = regular $2.89 sale $1.49 (saved $1.40)
2x Avocado = regular $1.67 PM Food Basics $0.77ea (saved $1.80)
Broccoli = regular $1.28 PM FreshCo $0.99 (saved $0.29)
Dragon Fruit = regular $2.48 PM Food Basics $1.88 (saved $0.60)
Lettuce = regular $1.29 PM FreshCo $0.89 (saved $0.40)
2x Green Onion = 2/$0.88
Tomato = regular $1.48/lb <total $1.78> PM Metro $0.99/lb <total $1.19> should have saved $0.59 = $0.54 (actually saved  $1.19)
Apples = regular $1.49/lb <total $5.06> PM Food Basics $0.67/lb <total $2.28> should have saved $2.78 = $1.03 (actually saved $4.03)
Grapes = regular $2.99/lb <total $2.69> PM Food Basics $0.88/lb <total $0.79> should have saved $1.90 = $0.36 (actually saved $2.33)

Spent = $23.21
Saved = $19.00

Check it out $19.00 and no coupons used!  Simply by shopping the sales and Price Matching I was able to cut my bill almost in half!

Total Spent = $44.97
Total Saved =$107.52
