We kinda had a BIG shopping week here.  I decided I didn’t want to hit the stores next week, so we did two weeks of shopping and filled two buggies.  With all the great holiday sales it’s hard to not overbuy.  Also realizing that most of these items won’t be back on sale for a while makes me want to go a little crazy.  Don’t worry no one is going to call in a hoarding intervention.

We went to Bi-Lo for most of the deals.  The sales are almost identical this week at Publix, but sorry Publix corporate… the better coupon policy at Bi-Lo made it a no-brainer.  Publix stores in SC don’t double and don’t take many competitor coupons at all.  Our Bi-Lo doubles coupons 60¢ or less and takes Target, Publix, and so many other competitor coupons.

So in I went with the great $10 off Target grocery coupon and whole lot of other coupons.

Bi-Lo Totals:

Total Purchase Value: $307.63
Total Spent: $122.72
Total Saved: $184.91 or 60%

I also got $7 back from mobile apps from this too.  This included our Turkey, 10 lbs of sweet potatoes and a lot more produce.  Check out all the deals at Bi-Lo this week.

After Bi-Lo we stopped at CVS.  I got all the major deals for the week except the Eye Candy gift sets, I need to try another store to see if I can find them in stock.

CVS Totals:

Total Purchase Value: $53
Total Spent: $1.14
ECB Remaining: $21

My Thursday email from CVS included a $10 off $40 store coupon, so I did my purchase all together to use that rather than in multiple purchases.  I had enough ECB from past weeks to make that work, though I’m so used to breaking things up that it felt weird.  Leaving with $21 ExtraCare Bucks is perfect for next weeks Black Friday deals though, now I can get it all in fewer transactions.
