Monday Grocery Gathering

I wanted to take advantage of the Reasors 10/$10 on the Pillsbury products because there is a catalina deal when you buy 6 items.  I did 4 transactions and had no catalinas to start with:

1. 6 Pillsbury - 3 $1/2 IP MQ = OOP $3.51 & got back a $4 catalina
2. 6 Pillsbury & 1 roll turkey - 3 $1/2 IP MQ - $4 cat = $1.28 & got $4 cat again
3. repeated #2
4. repeated (but didn't have as good of coupons) OOP $3.87 & got $4 cat

So I left Reasors with about $10 OOP for 24 Pillsbury items, 3 pounds of turkey, and a $4 cat.  Not too bad!

Next I hit Walgreens.  I had an $8 cat to start with and spent $22.65, but $9.36 of that was our sky high tax! Plus, I left with $17 in Register Rewards for next time.  The Rice Krispies are $1.75 and there are $1/1 peelies out there, so I got them for fall Krispies Treats.  Each box has $5 in coupons for Kelloggs items plus fresh fruit and milk coupons!

The Liquid Nails glue and the extension cords were on clearance around $0.75 a piece, and I needed them, so I used one RR to get those plus the toilet tissue without generating another RR.  I may go back and purchase a few more of the razors since they are on the monthly deal, and maybe the lotion that's on RR for October.  I didn't get any this trip, but I think that would be a great way to roll the $17 in RR I have.

I should have been able to get my OOP lower, if I had done more transactions, (I did 7 total).  But I was in a hurry and thought this would have to be good enough.  I saved quite a bit anyway, so I'm satisfied!

Edited to add:  We will not be eating all these Pillsbury!  I have already traded some to the neighbor for her coupons from the Sunday paper, and will be blessing others as well.  I will be saving the cresent dough for Thanksgiving as well.
