Shopping in San Luis for $35!!

For all my friends in San Luis, Pismo, and surrounding cities, did you know that Scolari’s doubles coupons!?! Here’s my first coupon match-up for this store, but hurry, these deals are only good through tomorrow! I will try and post more soon.

Disclaimer: The plan I lay out at the bottom is assuming you have zero stockpile- an empty pantry. This plan is intended to get you fed while building your stock. As you accumulate items at stock-up prices, your Out Of Pocket will fall since you no longer need to purchase things at full price. If, however, you have a small stock, you may be able to eliminate some items. Therefore, I have listed whether I think things are good prices or not. Enjoy!

Here’s what I would buy...

4 boxes of cereal (uses 2 Q’s which is what you can usually print w/1 computer)- $4

2 loaves bread- $3.76

4 packs bologna- $3.36

2 tubs yogurt- $3

4 lbs of Fuji Apples- $4

3 lbs of Pork Chops- $6

4 cans of veggies- $3.56

2.5 lbs of Red Potatoes- $1.98

1 Digiorno Pizza- $5.25 (this is pricey, but a nice treat if you are trying to avoid eating out)

Total OOP: $34.91 plus tax

Here’s what I would make with that...

Breakfasts: Cereal

Lunches: Bologna sandwiches with avocado (sounds gross but it’s yummy and has “good fats” instead of the kind in mayo), serve with Fuji Apples (reserve 5)

Snacks: Yogurt (mix with honey or sugar to sweeten and sprinkle with cereal for a crunch!)

Dinners: Pork Chops with Homemade Applesauce (take 5 reserved apples, peel and chop, throw in crockpot with generous sprinkle of cinnamon, cook on low 3 hours till soft, cool a bit and puree in blender), mashed red potatoes, and canned veggies

Digiorno for a treat!

This should get you through at least 4-5 days, plus you’ve started a stockpile! If you can’t afford $35, I’d cut the Digiorno first. Remember, you can freeze lunch meat, bread, and yogurt!

Please let me know if you have any troubles doubling coupons! And, as always, I recommend printing and taking the store's coupon policy to be sure you get what they promise. ;) Happy Shopping!
