So, I did get to Family Fresh Foods today, but it did not go quite as well as I would have liked. My friend and I went while her son was at preschool, but it took us a lot longer to get there than we had thought it would, so we had about 10-15 minutes that we should have been in the store. So we were basically rushing around trying to find things when we'd never been in there before, and they didn't have some of the brands I needed, and I got confused with some of my coupons, and if the things they were for were covered in the ad that I was price matching with (they were) but I didn't have time to check in the store. I didn't do too horribly, and I did save enough to more than cover the gas, but I will still probably only go once or twice a month because of the time it takes to get up there and back.
Here is what I got.
4 Dreyer's ice cream
1 16 oz, 1 8 oz cool whip,
1can pineapple tidbits
2 10 oz boxes Wheat Thins
3 boxes Club crackers
6 8 oz bags shredded cheese
2 Fiber One 4pks
toothpicks
bacon bits
jello
2 8 oz boxes cream cheese
ranch dip mix
5 1/2 pound ham steak
I spent $24.21, and I saved $29.40. I saved 55%! So really, not bad at all. As far as making up for the gas, I spend about $7 in gas to get there and back, but just from the doubling of the coupons, I saved $14 MORE than I would have by shopping in Utah Valley where I live. So including the gas I saved $7 more than I would have. Next time I go up there, I'm going to give myself a lot more time to price check, and to wander the store. But I didn't do too bad for only having 15 minutes, and for a first time.
