I'm ready for a break! For the 4th week in a row, Alberstons put doublers in the paper. Couponing takes a lot of work, not to mention that I have been getting up early and going shopping, before things sell out! I went to Wal-mart this week too, to price match Tide since Albertsons did not have "Free and Gentle" that I use to wash cloth diapers. Here are this week's purchases: 5 boxes (big boxes this week!) of Honey Nut Cheerios, 1 box of Lucky Charms, 2 boxes Saltines, 6 boxes Barilla pasta, 10 cans Cream of Mushroom soup, 2 frozen Marie Callenders pies, 4 jars pasta sauce, a bottle of Worcestershire sauce, 5 boxes Pasta Roni, 2 cans coconut milk, 2 cans evaporated milk, 1 frozen orange juice concentrate, a canister of hot cocoa mix, a gallon of milk, Crisco oil, a bag of hash browns (OreIda is local here!), 4 boxes of cream cheese, 4 cans Progresso soup, a bottle of Tide, 2 bottles juice, a pack of 4 cans of sparkling juice, 2 bottles Aveeno body wash, 2 bags of marshmallows, and a bag of Twix minis (for Aaron's stocking! Don't tell him!). The total cost before sales and coupons was $206.71. I paid $77.18. Eventually, I might even be under budget for groceries! :)
Will you really use all of that? You know the reason I can't do this is... all that would sit on the shelf and expire. Then I would need you to come and clean out my pantry again. Love, You-Know-Who
