Adventure # 2

So first of all, Happy Birthday to Me! Second, for my birthday one of my wonderful visiting teachers watched my boys for a little over an hour yesterday evening, while Target Man was working. Instead of doing anything really exciting, I went grocery shopping by myself for the first time in my married life. I got to stroll through the aisles of Martin's without threatening anyone's life. It was peaceful.

I came prepared with my list of items, coupon binder, and envelope ready to go. I had a mission. This was the result.



After all was said and done my total was 94.42. Then I scanned my bonus card, off came 30.50. Then I handed in all of my coupons, off came 23.35. Final total with tax: 42.46! Plus, this is the really awesome part, I earned rewards for $0.90/gallon off an entire tank of gas! We are taking my dad's van to Kentucky next week and this will save us 27.00 when we fill it up!

One more thing to mention, I actually bought expensive laundry detergent for our new adventures into cloth diapering (another post, for another time), and decided its not what I want, so I'm going to return it. So, subtract 6.99 plus tax from 42.46.

I spent under $4o for 6 boxes of cereal, 12 boxes of hamburger helper (not so healthy, but great for when I feel icky, like the past 4 months, and the coming 5), 8 boxes of scalloped/mashed potatoes, 4 boxes of toaster strudels (personal breakfast favorite), 2 bags steamer veggies (free!), 2 lbs apples, milk, 2 dole salad bags, toilet paper, and 1 yoplait yoplus yogurt!


I'm addicted!
