My Shopping Trip
*Tomorrow is the last day to enter Progresso giveaway!
Lately Safeway is my favorite place to shop. It seems like they have had a few excellent deals over the past couple weeks. My mother-in-law got me a really good book about being prepared for an emergency. I would love some feedback on how large a stockpile you have or would like to have on hand in groceries. The book suggests a year. So I'm starting small. I honestly don't think I have enough room for a year supply in our home. Maybe 4 months. My husband's Mountain Dew habit would take up half the pantry alone. So when I find a good deal I stock up thinking 4 months ahead. These are my good deals from Sunday...
The original price of all these groceries was $110.87 but I paid $20.68. A total savings of 81%! A lot of the savings had to do with the 50% clearance shelf. I'm not an advocate of clearing a shelf when you find a good deal but I will put a lot in my cart if they are on the clearance shelf. If it isn't sold soon it's going in the trash.
Quakers Chewy Bars... Org $3.79... Sale $2.50... 50% off -$1.25... Safeway cpn $1.99... Final Price $.74
Quakers Rice Delights... Org $3.19... Sale $1.50... 50% off -$.75... Final Price $.75
Jimmy Dean... Org $5.49... 50% off -$.2.75... Manu cpn -$1/1... Final Price $1.74
Steak... Org $6.29... 50% off -$3.15... Safeway cpn -$2/1... Final Price $1.14
These are my favorite deals...
Candy Bars... Org Price for 8 $7.92... Safeway Sale Buy 4 Get 4 Free -$3.96... Manu cpn for 3 free candy bars, max value -$2.65... 2 Manu cpn -$.25/1... Final Price $.81 for 8 Candy Bars
4 Sodas and 2 Crackers... Org Price for all $40.72... Safeway Sale Buy 2 Get 2 Free and 2 Free Crackers-$24.34... Manu cpn for 1 Free Coke 12 pack (from coke rewards) -$8.19... 3 Manu cpn (soda) $.75/1... Manu cpn (crackers) -$1/2... Final Price for 4 Packs of Soda and 2 Boxes of Crackers $4.94

Giveaway... The Progresso Souper You Debut
I'm very excited to be giving away a Progresso Souper You Debut Gift Pack courtesy of Progresso through MyBlogSpark. The gift pack includes a coupon for a free can of Progresso soup, a yoga mat, water bottle (love this water bottle, BPA free), set of aerobic bands, sport headband and two sport wristbands (I only got one, lol, like an 80s costume). Yippy, I have another giveaway! Here is some information they gave me concerning their "Souper You Debut."
"Available in 40 delicious flavors with 100 calories or less, Progresso® Soup can help curb your hunger, making it easier for you to stick to your weight management plan all year long. With hearty ingredients like pasta, beans, corn and rice, and flavor-packed vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, and peppers, Progresso Soup varieties with 100 calories or less offer a good source of fiber and a full serving of vegetables.
To help kick off a new outlook on the New Year, Progresso is excited to announce the return of the "Souper You™ Debut" contest! From January 3rd through March 16th, you and your readers can visit Progresso on Facebook to enter for the chance to win a full makeover in New York City.
Three grand prize winners will be awarded a trip for two to New York City from May 20th-22nd. The prize includes roundtrip airfare, a two-night stay in an NYC hotel, a full makeover, a guided wardrobe shopping spree with a personal consultation at a New York City department store, and $1,000 in spending money.
To enter, you’ll need to do the following:
* Go to Progresso on Facebook to learn more and enter the contest
* Submit your essay (200 characters or less) telling Progresso why you love their soups that contain 100 calories or less, and why you deserve a chance to win a trip to NYC for a full fashion overhaul
* In addition, please submit a photo of yourself that visually reinforces the theme of your essay
Once the 10 finalists are announced, you can visit Progresso on Facebook from March 30th through April 13th to vote for your favorite."
So I have tried to get back on track with getting in shape and toning up. So far this month I’ve lost a pound. :) But… I worked hard for that pound so I should be :(. And the husband says I’m getting toner so that is enough for me to stay motivated. Luckily Progresso provided me with the prize pack they are offering you plus a few cans of soup came in the mail for me to review. I thought the soup actually had a good flavor to it. I’ve had some pretty bad healthy soup before and I could definitely eat the Progresso soup without complaints. I really like a lot of vegetables in my soup and was able to add a lot of peas and carrots without losing the taste of the broth. My husband was actually interested in trying a couple of the cans but I beat him to it. And it is hard to get him to eat healthy soup.
How you enter the giveaway...
Leave a comment under the post letting everyone know what new flavor you find the most appetizing. Don't forget your email address! I will pick a number from random.org. Entry in to the giveaway ends February 24, 2011 at 8PM (AK Standard Time). A few of my favorites are Beef Pot Roast, Chicken Noodle, and New England Clam Chowder.
So good luck in the giveaway and good luck with being healthy!
