MARTIN’S Shopping for the week – so far

I was just planning on picking up some produce after work Tuesday night to get us through until I could finish the match-ups and figure out what we really needed.  It is amazing how not cooking and being out of town for a week can allow you to forget what you have or need in your pantry.  I ended up with some really good deals and some more freebies thanks to the MARTIN’S coupon booklet that I mentioned in this post. 

Here is the picture of my purchases:

 

Shelf Price (before sales, coupons, or tax): $63.00

I also redeemed my $3 off $30 coupon found in the MARTIN’S coupon booklet mailed to residents.

You may have noticed that I picked up a few things that I don’t usually buy.  I found out right before I left for my trip that I am borderline for gestational diabetes.  My doctor suggested that I follow the diet and recommendations from the American Diabetes Association and picked up the cheese sticks and whole grain bread to have some easy snacks available and bread for lunch.  The ice cream is a calorie and carb splurge – I will have to make sure I go for a walk right after enjoying that.  :)

Have you tried the MARTIN’S store brand items?  Have you found any other freebies using the coupon booklet?  Feel free to share.
