All my cousins have gotten me into this coupon/watching for the stores sales thing. I've always been a little skeptical but the past few weeks have won me over! Two weeks ago, I saved a big $60! I've always thought you can't buy the "things you really eat" on sale. But you can! I do! I wait for the things we like to go one sale and stock up! My pantry is starting to look so full, I LOVE it!!
Albertsons was having a GREAT sale last week! I got a sitter, my in-store paper ad, and shopping list and started my quest! I know I'll get better and faster at this but the first few times takes a little time. One hour and 10 minutes later, a chuck full shopping cart, MEGA anxiety(thinking I went way over board on $), and hot flashes, I pulled into the checkout counter and loaded all my groceries.
Nervously awaiting the total, I was totally surprised!
The Bill came to $103.00 ish
And I saved $113.00
Thats ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN DOLLARS!!!
I couldn't believe it! I was on such a natural high! The game has now heightened! I'm starting to get addicted to searching for these great prices! I mean , who knew I could get 3 gallons of milk for $5.00 or name brand cereals for .75 cents !!! Now I'm gearing up for this week! Wonder if I'll break my new record anytime soon! We'll see...
p.s. I'm really sad to say goodbye to all my cute Valentine's stuff. All that pink and red just brightened up my everything!
