My parents are coming for dinner tonight, and I’m making Broiled Tilapia Parmesan. They haven’t tried it yet, but around here we think it’s pretty yummy! Only one problem… I forgot that I was out of mayo and only had half the fish I needed. So, I stopped at Kroger today to get mayo and tilapia.
While I was walking from the seafood to the condiments, I passed the manager’s special cart. Of course, I HAD to stop! I was thrilled to see Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice on the cart! My heart sunk when I realized that I didn’t have my coupon binder with me, but the price — $.59 per pouch — was too good to pass up… even without coupons. I love having this on-hand for nights when I work and need a really quick side dish.
Here’s what I got:
Missing from photo: 2 Diet Mt. Dew 20-ounce bottles
(I was with my mom. She bought lunch. I bought drinks.)
Spent: $12.86
Saved: $3.74 (22%)
Catalina Earned: $1.00 (from Uncle Ben’s!)
I had no idea that Uncle Ben’s had a catalina deal going on right now, and I certainly didn’t expect it on the rice. With the $.59 price tag and the $1 back at checkout, I ended up paying $.42 each for the rice pouches!
