Saturday Savings - A Pictureless Post

The Deals: Aldi had some nice produce deals this week, with the bags of baby carrots ringing up at just .49 each and the 3 pound bag of sweet potatoes was only $1.59 (.53 a pound). If you're looking at buying little ice cream cones to have at home this summer too, Aldi is the place to pick them up! A box of 12 cones (cake cones or sugar cones) is only .89, versus $1.50 I saw at Price Chopper and HyVee.

At HyVee I snagged the Frosted Mini Wheats boxes for $1.50 each after sale and coupon. The bananas were .38 a pound and the flat of strawberries was $3.99 ($1 per pound). The packages of Johnsonville Brats were $2.50 after coupon and the Pork Chops were a great deal at $1.79 per pound (55% off).

Price Chopper has a good deal on Beef Rump Roast at $1.99 a pound (50% off) and an excellent deal on Blue Bunny Ice Cream for only $1.49 a box! (limit 2) The 5 pound bag of potatoes was only .99.

Price Before Sales, Tax and Coupons: $116.92
Price After Sales and Coupons: $61.37- 48% off

It should be noted that yesterday I only used 2 coupons in my trip and still managed to save 48% and get lots of great stuff! Don't let the fact that you don't have many coupons yet deter you from trying to save lots of money at the grocery store!
