no cooking.....no money

So tonight I decided that I was NOT cooking dinner. I was WAY too hot!! So I decided to look at my coupons and Albertson's double coupons and figure out what I could buy cheap and easy without "going out to eat". Here is what I came up with:

TRANSACTION #1:
4 California Pizza Kitchen pizzas, $10
-$3-- Kraft promotion
-$4-- 4, 1/1 pizza coupon, (5/17 SS)
-$3--3, Albertson's double coupons

OOP: FREE

TRANSACTION #2:
4 Digiorno flat bread melts, $10
-$3-- Kraft promotion
-$3-- 2, 1.50/1 Digiorno coupons (I printed this somewhere I while ago and can't remember where, sorry)
-$1.50-- 2, .75/1 Digiorno coupons (5/17 SS)
-$2.75-- 3, Albertsons doubles

OOP: FREE + $.25

I added my produce to this transaction with 5lbs worth of grapes ($.99/lbs) and 4 lbs of strawberries ($4.99 for 4lbs) and used the Albertson's produce coupon (found in this weeks ad)to get a dollar off. I don't usually like to end up with an absolute zero balance or looking like they technically owe me money because I don't think the cashiers take that very well! :) And Josey wanted to bring in the fruit for her "birthday" treat tomorrow for her class. But really....they paid me a quarter to feed my family pizza tonight! Can I get a YEE HAW!

The girls loved eating their own individual pizza and a delicious fruit salad and best of all I didn't have to spend much time in the kitchen or money out of the pocket!!

Oh the possibilities this week! Thank you Albertson's for your beloved double coupons.....

You are amazing. By the way, the other day I read your old navy post and I tried so hard to click on that dumb parrot... but the coupon was already gone. Darn!
