Frugal Finds

This week, I spent just under $90 between grocery stores and CVS and Walgreens stops. At Hy-Vee, I loaded up on boneless/skinless chicken breasts that were on sale for $1.59/lb, nabbing almost 20 pounds for my freezer. I also bought 4 pounds of hamburger marked down to $1.69/lb, chocolate ice cream on sale for $0.99 with store coupon, and a 5-lb bag of potatoes on sale for $0.99 with store coupon. And I used a $4 Purina printable coupon on a bag of Friskies cat food, making the final cost $0.58 for the bag!
