    What a sweet story about the rain. April showers makes may flowers. I’m currently in a tshirt with grey clouds. I think I will be ok.

    I plan to check for the sour cream tomorrow. I still have 2, but store it upside down & it keeps a long time.

    ❤Your son is so cute! Ugh I dislike having to shop in the rain 🌧 and you were super busy. 😮
    But I'd do it too to get the deals. 😅
    Crazy that Walmart didn't change the number on their sign. 🤔
    Great haul! 👍

    • @joyfullythriving

      The rain really does make shopping a lot more challenging. 🙄 But the shopping is done for another week! I am super thankful for the sunshine returning! It's been a wet month for us, and I am ready for the May flowers that all these April showers should bring! 🌞

    I’m so pleased with my trip to Fry’s (Kroger) here in Tucson. I saved 35% off my entire grocery order by using digital coupons, “deals of the week” and managers’ specials (especially in the meat department). It was a great shopping day.

    • @joyfullythriving

    There is an Ibotta rebate on goldfish for $2 back on 3 which makes them 0.82 a piece if you wanted to stock up on a few more. Great deals this week on nature valley and general Mills bars as well if you're family eats those items. ❤️ Great video.

    Great story 😂 I think many of us moms have been there! I got some Kellogg's cereal buy 2 get 3 free. Our milk was $1.19 half gallon and I also stocked up on Dole Fruit cups 😊

    • @joyfullythriving
      @joyfullythriving  6 місяців тому

      Yes! That cereal is a great deal! Nathan hasn't touched any of the cinnamon crunch from the last sale yet, so I resisted. But the temptation was strong because it is such a good deal! 😂 Yay for cheap milk prices too!

    We have a small chain of employee-owned grocery stores in our area (NW suburban Chicago). They have outstanding 50% markdowns on meat the day before or the day the meat is marked to sell by. Today I found packages of Angus ground beef marked at $1.99 per pound, so I stocked up on those. I was down to my last package of ground beef. I also splurged on 1 package of grass-fed ground beef marked down to $4.99 a pound. It's usually $9.99 a pound, which I would never pay, so I’m eager to taste that. Two pound boxes of Swiss Bubba Burgers were marked down to $6.99 each, so I also bought those. I’m still on the lookout for boneless pork chops because I’m totally out of those-and have been for a while. I find that stocking up on the marked down meat and freezing it right away allows for some wiggle room in the rest of my grocery budget. It also makes me happy when I pull meat out of the freezer and the big red markdown sticker reminds me how much I saved. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    • @joyfullythriving
      @joyfullythriving  6 місяців тому

      WOW! Those are amazing prices! So glad you stocked up! And yes! Nothing like freezing it to get the thrill of a good deal twice - when you see the sticker again when you thaw it! I totally get it! 🥰

  • @angelaholland1236
    @angelaholland1236 6 місяців тому +1

    I had just seen the Same price before I watched this video. I was totally shocked at the $14. I'll definitely renew early. Also earlier today I was accessing the holes in my pantry. I'll do another Walmart delivery the end of the month for my staples. Great video and story 😁

    • @joyfullythriving
      @joyfullythriving  6 місяців тому

      Good luck filling in the gaps! I love doing that at the end of the month. Let me know if it allows you to renew for $14. I think that deal might be new members only? But if not, I'm renewing super early too! 😁

    Congratulations on the new car and loved the rain adventure story. Glad you got all the groceries. I was waiting for you to say the power went out and you couldn’t check out. Caleb did a great job telling the story. Amazing deal on the sour cream. I haven’t gotten any groceries this week because I have been recovering from some medical things but already halfway through the months budget so I thought that might be a good break.

    • @joyfullythriving

    We’re wet too! Caleb is such a great helper! I think I’m skipping shopping/Kroger this week. I did a big stock up last week: Sanderson Farns chicken breast fillets were buy one get one free, and I found a spiral bone-in ham at Aldi on clearance for $.99/lb. So we’re eating from the freezer this week!

    • @joyfullythriving

    Week two of our best deal at HEB bone in chicken breast 97 a pound no limit. Aldi had their bagged dried soups for 99 cents and Easter hams on clearance for 79 or 99 cents a month depending on bone in or boneless. They also had turkeys on clearance but our store was out. All meats great stock ups for the freezer. Eggs came down a little 3.84 for 18 large. We are in west texas so prices might vary.

    • @joyfullythriving

    He told that story just perfectly!! I’m a wait in the store gal…while you still look cute after being drenched, I have bangs and my hair looks like a drowned rat when wet 😂 Those are once again great deals!! Hy-Vee has some okay deals the next two weeks, and I actually don’t need much more than fruit this week, so I’m happy with that!! I utilize Sam’s so much more now than when my kids were home…Aldi beat their prices, but that isn’t true anymore. My kids and grandkids live close, so I still feed them often, and I love your videos!!

    • @joyfullythriving
      @joyfullythriving  6 місяців тому

    I almost said something about the flour and then remembered you did say you don't like the big bags as much. Lol I love them! I just store them in my food grade buckets. I go through a lot of flour, tho.
    We love homemade pizza! It's what we have every Friday night here. It's been a rough week. So we did take out. But homemade is always better. I have a simple pizza crust too. So it makes it easy.
    Thanks for the story! Sorry you had a rough few hours. ❤

    • @joyfullythriving
      @joyfullythriving  6 місяців тому

      I should just bring a bucket up to my kitchen pantry and maybe then the big bags wouldn't be such a big deal! I made homemade pizza this week, and my kids weren't as thrilled as when we work the pizza take out deals. 🤣 So we are the opposite of you there! Sorry you had a rough week. Here's hoping the weekend is everything you need it to be, to regroup for the week ahead! 🥰

    • @angiesteuck
      @angiesteuck 6 місяців тому +1

      @joyfullythriving bummer on the pizza. :( lol my son loves it! He even started making his own. I make the crust, and he does his own toppings. I definitely think the crust has a lot to do with it. My son likes a thicker crust, and my husband likes a thinner crust. Lol
      Yes! Here is hoping for a great weekend.
      I hope you have a blessed weekend as well. :)

    The half gallons are 1.19 here. They used to run on sale for .99 but I’m wondering if 1.19 will be the new sale price from now on.
    The sale I’m most excited about here is chicken breasts for 1.77/lb again!

    • @joyfullythriving
      @joyfullythriving  6 місяців тому +1

      Ohhh! Great chicken price! We were just at b1g1. It is interesting how prices do vary by region - even though it is the same chain! And yes, I haven't seen dairy at $0.99 in awhile. I think you are right. It's the new sale price!

    🥤 My Panera deal of $3.33 a month ends May 7th and I'm going to cancel unless they offer another deal cause I'm not paying $15.99 😮 too high. If I wait I know they'll email another deal even if I have to wait a few weeks. 😅
    Our milk at Hyvee or Walmart is about $2.58 a gallon. 🥛

    • @joyfullythriving
      @joyfullythriving  6 місяців тому +1

      That's where I am on Panera. My expires this Thursday. If I don't get a deal in a week or so, I might sign up for the month of May since I typically stop 2 or 3 times every day on my way to and from school. But after that, it is back to waiting for a deal!
