Rainbow Without Doubling

Posted 12-09-2011 at 09:14 PM by tleca77

Couldn't make it on Wednesday for doubling, and they aren't doing it this Saturday, and we needed food! So Friday evening it is.

Saved a good amount just using normal Qs and sale prices. Not a record amount of savings, but still not bad!

Rainbow Quickie

Posted 09-24-2011 at 04:54 PM by tleca77

Went to Rainbow with just a few items in mind, mostly planning to check out the deals, get some basics, and double my 5 - $1 Qs for the day.
Got LOTS of tea-- they had a bunch of varieties of yummy organic tea on clearance. And they happened to be brands I had Qs for-- what a surprise!

Had originally planned to split these trips between my 2 days off, but ended up doing them both today. Wow, was I hungry when I got home!!

Hit up Target for lots of stuff, then a small-ish trip to Rainbow.

Long, Successful Trip to Rainbow

Not gonna lie, I spent most of my evening grocery shopping. Didn't even hit up a couple locations-- this was all one trip. I shopped very slow, did really well, too.

Rainbow doubled 5 of my $1 Qs, so that was a quick $5 made. I was really shopping the deals tonight, looking for bargains to stack Qs on. I wasn't going off a set list, for once, just hunting for some different items to stock the fridge with.
