Okay... That was pretty stinkin' good!


I decided to brave the elements today in order to go grocery shopping. No, I'm not on crack. Unless it's on sale with a coupon...

I made three stops this morning. Food Lion, Walmart, Publix. Here's how I did:

Food Lion:

I had to check out in two orders because of limits on their cereal, but I'm combining them for the totals.

8 Post Cocoa Pebbles
2 Large Cap'N Crunches
1 22 count Flavor Pack chips (Doritos, etc)
2 12 packs of Fresca
2 12 packs of Diet Dr Pepper
3 12 packs of Diet Coke with Lime
2 12 packs of Cherry Coke

Paid $45.18. Saved $45.83!!!



Walmart:

The cashier couldn't get two of my $1/1 coupons to scan, and that was disappointing, but I think it was still a good stop.

2 Kikkomann's Soy Sauces
2 Kikkimann's Low Sodium Soy Sauces
2 Xtra Laundry Detergents

Paid $8.09. Saved $6.28.



Publix:

Not only was I buying stockup items at Publix, I was also buying groceries for the week. Since I'm new to couponing, I haven't really stockpiled much yet, so I'm still paying full price for some things...

By the way, my Publix receipt is 4 feet long!

1 22oz deli drink (I sampled a Cajun deli meat, and it burned the dickens out of my tongue!)
2 4 packs of YoPlus yogurt
2 8 packs of Gatorade (in bottles)
6 All Small and Mighty Laundry Detergents
1 24 pack bottled water
2 Colgate Sensitive Toothpastes
Eggs
2 Pillsbury Pizza Crusts
2 Pillsbury Crescents
2 Pillsbury Breadsticks
4 Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
2 Publix Pizza Sauces
5 Dial handsoaps
1 Old Spice bodywash
3 lbs of ground chuck
Bananas
2 Tostitos Scoops
2 Fresh Something or Other Salads
12 4 packs of Dole fruit cups
4 Ugly tomatoes
2 Comet bathroom cleaners
1 Carnation Instant breakfast
1 Kellogg Poptarts
Publix coffee filters
1 Publix wipes refill
2 Smoked sausages
2 Ragu spaghetti sauces
1 Publix Parmesan
1 Zataran's Jambalaya mix
2 Kraft BBQ sauces
2 Crisco Vegetable oils
2 Hunts Ketchups


Paid: 159.50. Saved: 94.91!!!!


For the day, I paid $212.77 and saved $147.02!!!

I can't wait to see what these numbers turn into once my stockpile is built up!!!!


The Haul!!!!

NO KIDS!!! (Can I still be crazy amazing?)
Nick and I agreed that kids needed to stay home so I could be most successful.
