We are into week two of the All You challenge and still going strong! I got my groceries this morning at Meijer and Family Fare and hit the jackpot for school supplies-which are not included in the challenge but the deals were so good I have to brag a minute I got 10 boxes of Crayola 24 packs crayons for .19 each but even better-buy two Crayola items, get the third for .01! So three boxes of crayons for .39! They also had notebooks of paper for .05 each, Crayola markers for .79 and also buy two get one for .01, glue stick multi packs for .19, lunch boxes buy one get one for $1, and a backpack deal where you buy $10 worth of Kellogs (I stocked up on poptarts for my husband) and get $10 off a backpack so I got my daughters for an oop of $2.99! PLUS, last time I was at Meijer I got a cat for $5 off a $25 Meijer gift card so before I started my shopping this morning I ran through checkout,  grabbed a gift card and started the trip out with a ‘free’ $5! Can’t beat that!

Meijer: $27.78

Family Fare $20.11

Subway $3.71

Dungeon $10 (for my husbands weekly dinner out with a friend)

Family Fare: $4.99 Stock up on cereal deal-this week if you buy 4 boxes of General Mill cereal you get them for $1.49 and I had a $1 coupon so I thought that was a decent price (my husband LOVES Cinnamon Toast Crunch). Well when I went to check out it gave me a cat for $1.50 off of three so I did the math and I could get 4 boxes of cereal for $1.12 each! This is a stock up price for me so I made several trips this week-each time rolling the cat into the next set.
