Grocery Store Savings April 3 - April 9

This week I went to Aldi, Bi-Lo, Harris Teeter, Food Lion and Lowes Food.    I am very fortunate. The closest grocery store is only about a 5 minute drive, and on the same road within 5 miles of each other is Lowes Foods, Harris Teeter, Aldi, Rite Aid (although this is an unfriendly coupon store), Bi-Lo, Food Lion, CVS and Walgreens.  So if I start at one end of the road and work my way down I can literally hit everything without going on another road!  This really helps, so I feel better about going to multiple store's for just a few things since it is all so close and I am not going out of my way and wasting a bunch of gas to save $2. 

Here is the breakdown:

Aldi: OOP $14.18 / Bi-Lo: OOP: $2.82 Coupons: $3 Store Savings: $6.07 Regular Retail: $11.89
2 tortillas, 1 lb. ready to eat carrots, 2 lb. bag carrots, 3 peppers, cucumber, bananas, hamburger buns, turkey bacon, pampers wipes, and 1/2 dozen yellow roses.
