Winco -- good deal for the money!

My husband comes home yesterday and tells me he's out of granola bars for work. He keeps them on hand to snack on or when he can't stop for lunch. Well, heck! I knew I was heading to Winco to do my price recon, so I hoped to find a good deal. Did I ever!

I'll get more of my Winco finds up later today or tomorrow. I'm trying to get my pricing recon stuff done so you guys can see it. Here's how I did:

Total OOP $17.80 (19.28 w/tax)

8 Uncle Ben's Ready Rice
4 Fiber One granola bars, 5 pk
1 Hamburger buns, 8 ct
1 8th Continent Soy Milk


The hamburger buns were only $0.88 each! I'm just not lovin' that price. I got one package only -- still hoping there will be a killer deal for July 4th.

***Got a tip from a reader that Fred's is the place to get the CHEAP hamburger buns - $0.50 each for the first two. I'm going to check that out tomorrow morning! Thank you spielerman for the tip!

Even though I went late at night, there was still a line....and a few of my coupons had to be entered manually... and the cashier did 2 transactions because he forgot the milk the first time. OF COURSE, there was a line too! Jeez, can't a KCL grab a break? I swear I was feelin' the intent looks of the other customers. Well, at least my husband has granola bars! *smile*
