Bloom Shopping Results

By Valerie

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

I’m sure glad Bloom is close. I’ve made 3 more trips. My husband told me I did “pretty good” and qualified that by saying it wasn’t like my trips in the past where I came home having only spent a few bucks. I still think I’m doing great.

You can find the matchup list for Bloom super doubles here.

First trip Saturday, $22.18.

2nd trip Saturday, $4.48

Sunday trip, $18.81.

I’m thrilled that I bought that second-hand freezer a few weeks ago, else I’d never have been able to stock up on this stuff. Considering all of the above cost about $45, I think I did better than “pretty good,” but I see my husband’s point. Mostly luxury items, convenience products, etc. I guess I would have really saved, had I bought none of it. Nah….

The fryer chickens are a good deal this week at only 79¢ a pound. The one I got was a big one, over 5 pounds, and had a fairly small neck and no other “innards” packed inside.

Matchup List for Bloom Super Doubles 10/7-10/13

It’s still a work in progress, but it’s a start. If you’re familiar with my lists, I pretty much limit them to under a buck or two. Since I don’t get Red Plum circulars, I’m probably missing a bunch of good deals. Good luck shopping – we have several days ahead of us.

My “score” at Farm Fresh tonight.

By Valerie

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

It was a very late trip. By the time I had all my coupons sorted, it was 11:35… Farm Fresh closes at midnight. Good thing I know my way around the store. Plus the guys that stock the shelves are always helpful.

My total was only $8.53. (The EVOO was $5.39 of that.)

For some reason, I thought Bloom was open 24 hours. Not! They closed at midnight too. I’ll head there in the morning. There are some dynamite deals; I’ll post details once I verify prices and all.
