Freebee: July 2022

 


So far this year we were able to pick up 110 free items.   With inflation rising, the deals are minimal and hard to come.   We are grateful for everything we are able to pick up, mainly because we are only going to the store when we need a list of items.      


As always, I am able to secure these items through Kroger incentives, Drug Store (Walgreens/CVS)  Rewards programs, sales, Pinch Me, Smart Source, Meijer’s Buy 10 get the 11th free sale, and Rebates Programs (IBOTTA/SavingStar).   


January (13 items) 

February (5 items) 

March (5 items)

April (29 items) 

May (11 Items) 

June (13 Items) 


Here is my July  2022 list of Free-Bees!

My favorite deal this month was all CVS’s Thanksgiving Deals.    CVS provided deals on a variety of health care items which I normally do not get for free.   In addition, they gave me several ECB to use on other items in the store.   Thank you, CVS!  With inflation going up and up, I am grateful for the free items I would have needed to purchase anyway. 


My goal for July was 20 items.    I exceeded my expectations and hit a new personal best for the month.   Next month, we will see what I can do with starting a new job.   My goal for August is 20 items again.    


What is your favorite deal this month?

Since March has 4 weeks, our monthly budget is $757.20.   We elevate our dining experiences by including fresh fruits, vegetables, and higher-quality meats.  Since we have health concerns and are active individuals, we limit our processed food choices.    Grocery Shopping Tip:     Utilize your grocery store’s loyalty program. This month, my 2 primary grocery stores have provided me with store coupons for bread, Silk milk, jelly candy, frozen vegetables, and Bali coconut water.  Here is what we did this week to make our week easier: ...
