What can you get for $20?

  Yesterday I ran into UGO after work to grab some snacks for our little weekend mini vacation. Their snacks were way overpriced but I did manage to snag some good deals on items we like but are usually more expensive than we want to pay. What did I bring home?

     Not the healthiest grouping of groceries but I don't trust their produce/meat. Here's the rundown:

  Red Gold Salsa: $.69 (x4)
  Philadelphia Cream Cheese Indulgence: $.59(x3)
  Breakstone's Cottage Cheese: $1.00
  Kellogg's Big Mini Wheats: $1.44
  Kraft Parmesan Seasoning Blends: $1.00 (x3)
  Land O'Lakes Butter Blend: $.79 (x3)
  Sara Lee Honey Wheat Bread $1.29
  Sara Lee Dinner Rolls $1.29
  Land O'Lakes Shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese 5lb $6.99
  Total: $21.91


  Here is what regular stores charge for those same items:
 Salsa: $1.49 (we usually buy the Kroger Brand)
 Philadelphia Cream Cheese Indulgence: $2.48
 Breakstone's Cottage Cheese: ? No clue
 Kellogg's Big Mini Wheats: $3.99
 Kraft Seasoning Blends: $1.99
 Butter: $2/lb
 Bread and Dinner Rolls: ? We usually don't buy that brand but I know Walmart has wheat bread for like   $1.99
 Cheese: We usually buy our cheese from Aldi @ $1.79/8oz which works out to $3.58/lb
 Total: $49.21

 Total Savings: $27.30 

 Not too shabby! Later I'll be posting some tips on keeping your eye out for a good deal and avoiding the things they tend to overprice.

Happy Friday!
