I just saved a ton of money - but not on car insurance

First, I want to apologize for not getting up all the weekly deals posted yet. I know the week is nearly half over, but I have been traveling and don't always get a chance to sit down and blog. This stuff does take some time. lol I'm home now but will be gone again July 5th, 6th, and 7th. Yeah... just in time for new deals to post. :) Don't forget that if you're needing to know what is on sale but I haven't posted it, you can look for it here or google your local store and check for a weekly ad link.

Even though we didn't get home till late, I still made it to H.E.B. in time to take advantage of last minute deals before they switch tomorrow. It was so good, I couldn't pass it up. Here's how it went down:

More important was the amount of meals I can make out of this list of food. :)

Now do you see how important it was for me to get to the store tonight, despite how late it was?
Don't worry if you missed this deal. HEB almost always has deals like this weekly.
