I apologize for not posting - life has been crazy busy lately! We spent the weekend in Salina visiting my sister and didn't get home until Sunday afternoon...then I was busy getting ready for another workweek! There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day...plus I am sick with allergies still...I swear this year is the WORST for them! UGH!
Anyhow - I had to post real quick and share my bestest shopping trip yet! I went to Dillons without children tonight and I had it all planned out - I had coupons loaded on my Dillons card from cellfire and proctor and gamble...I had a stack of coupons to go with it, I was set! I filled up the cart, all with things I normally buy, and headed to the checkout.
Now I have to say, the poor girl didn't know what hit her....she rang up all my stuff and then I handed her my Dillons card....ching ching ching - the computer started taking off all of the electronic coupons...then I handed her the stack. Her shoulders slumped and she sighed. LOL I couldn't help but feel sorry for her! She swiped them all and manually put in the prices of the BOGO items and then hit enter - YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to shout out loud! I had spent approx $125 and SAVED, for real SAVED, $94!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was estatic. She looked a little shell shocked. Maybe they aren't used to that? I am sure I am not! Wow - that made all of the planning and thinking ahead of time worth it ---- all of that in a 30 minute child-free (the key-no distractions) grocery trip!
Saving money is fun!!!!!! My favorite website is www.afullcup.com --- that is what got me started on this new adventure. I am forever indebted to the gals that post faithfully on there and teach us newbies the tricks!
