I’m so psyched. And since I’m not one for suspense, I’ll lay it out right up front. Savings tonight: $80.59. My total OOP was $52.92, total before sales and coupons $133.51. Only 2 minor mistakes: I forgot to pull out the Carnation Evaporated milk coupon (-$1.00, doubled), and I somehow left a Pillsbury coupon at home (-$1.00). But everything else pretty much went off without a hitch, though my Shaw’s was ransacked. Never have I seen them actually run out of sales items, but that’s exactly what happened here! No Cedars B1G1 Tzatziki for me. *pouts*.
Second major reason I’m excited is that–for once–my cart isn’t filled primarily with junk food. I got stuff that I like, that I can actually cook with, and enjoy. Two bags of Sargento Cheese, 2 Sorrento Mozzerella balls, 2 boxes of butter, soups, baking supplies, carrots, grapes, spaghetti, a 17-pound, $8.33 TURKEY! Never mind the 8 boxes of cake mix and 3 things of soda that sorta make me sick now, but I will be SO glad I have when company pops over in the next few days–as they most assuredly will.
So, I’m pretty happy tonight…
