$33.56 normal price for all products, $9.50 is what I pay after ECB's, coupons, and rebate.
I could have done better with coupons, but I didn't have all the coupons that were out there, since I've only just now been saving the full inserts.
Here are my deals from Price Chopper:
Bananas, $0.48/lb. Price Chopper cheese slices, 2/$3, Price Chopper Sour Cream, $0.99 each, Price Chopper white bread twin pack, $1.99 each, and Price Chopper salad dressing, 2/$3
Price before discounts: $33.97. Price after discounts: $16.35
Our normal grocery bill this week came to only $69, and that was with easter shopping and shopping for chips, dip and soda because we had friends over Friday night. If those two events didn't happen, it could have easily come to $60. So, I had a little extra in the budget to build my stockpile, which is why I hit CVS, and I still stayed under budget.
It's still a lot of work because I'm not organized yet and I don't have all the best prices memorized, so I have to do a lot of math still to figure out by ounce if a deal is really a deal. But, so far it is worth and, and sad to say, I'm actually having fun with it!

It is fun! My problem is that I keep forgetting to get the paper for the coupons.
Nicely done!
If you buy boneless Chicken Breasts - Goretti's sells them for $1.98/lb every Tuesday. I make a trip once a month and stock the freezer. I did pretty good at estimating this month we used the last package on Sunday. I usually do pretty well with weekly usage estimates, but I am still working on estimating for bulk purchases (ie - things that go on sale once a month or that I purchase at store I don't go to regularly)
Looking forward to hearing more of your deals!
