The responses to my request for coupons are starting to come in. Little Debbie said that they don't send coupons. Dannon said they don't usually send coupons but sent me a "courtesy" envie with a free coupon (for yogurt or drinkables) and a $.25/1 coupon. If Homeland has Dannon yogurt on sale this month, that $.25/1 coupon will equal a free yogurt. I also got a free product coupon for Hostess/Wonder (can use for bread or sweets). I also got some coupons from Land O Lakes which I can combine with with sales (hopefully).
Once I get off the computer I am going to have the following breakfast:
- Special K w/ strawberries (1 serving, 8 servings in box)
- 6 oz cup of yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 oz juice
The price breakdown is as follows:
- Special K: $.005 (as I mentioned yesterday, I got 2 boxes and half a gallon of milk for $.08. I'll call the milk free and assess $.04 to each box of cereal. 1/8 of $.04 = $.005 or half a cent)
- Yogurt: FREE with coupon
- Milk: FREE with coupon
- Juice: 1/16 of the bottle @ $.50 bottle = $.03125
- Total Breakfast OOP: $.03625 (i.e. less than $.04!)
Lunch:
- Corn beef and cheese tortilla wrap
- Sugar Free Koolaid
The price breakdown is as follows:
- Tortilla. $2.82 -$1.99 coupon = $.83 / 8 tortillas = $.10375
- Corned Beef. $.56 - $.56 free product coupon = $0.00
- Cheese. $2.00 bag - $1/2 coupon = $1.00/bag divided by 8 servings = $.125
- Koolaid. $2.00 - $1/1 coupon = FREE
- Total Lunch OOP: $0.22875
- Current Total OOP for Day: $0.265. That leaves me with $1.235 for dinner.
Well day 1 is now complete (wooo hooo! 1 down, 29 to go! LOL) Dinner was tasty, healthy and cheap!
- Cheeseburger on toast w/ sugar free koolaid. The burger was made from the 96% lean hamburger I bought last week. It was $3.56 for a package and I used a $3 off meat WT which brought it down to $.56 for the package. I used a quarter of the package for a price of $.14. The cheese was free from the buy 3 koolaid get cheese free coupons (those were great coupons!) The bread was free using a hostess/wonder coupon that expired 12/31/08.
- Total Dinner Price: $.14
- Total for the Day OOP: $0.405 (40 and a half cents) Pretty good start if I say so myself!
