Bargain Shopping

Coupons are a bit of a pain, but I think it's worth the effort most of the time. I spent my lunch break today at Harris Teeter grabbing all the good Triple-Coupon deals I could. I'm not nearly as strategic as some coupon-ers I know, but I have learned that the best deals are usually gone by 5:00 the first day the sale starts. So I sped over there at lunchtime and managed to find the shelves still (fairly) well-stocked.

I spent $13.80, saving $36.18 with my 20 coupon limit for the day! Not too shabby. A few of my good deals were:

Nestle Chocolate Chips: $ .54
Kotex: FREE
3 Spaghetti Sauces: $1.10 each
All Small & Mighty: $2.64
French's Yellow Mustard: FREE
French's Spicy Mustard: FREE
McCormick Spices: $ .74
Viva Paper Towel Roll: $ .04
Duke's Mayonnaise: $ .09
French Fried Onions: $ .24
Eggo Waffles $ .54
4 Knorr Pasta Sides: $ .28 each
2 Lipton Hollandaise Mix: $ .59 each
2 Lipton Onion Soup Mix Boxes: $ .67 each
2 McCormick Grill Mates Seasoning Packs: FREE
Breakstone Sour Cream: $ .34

So that should totally make up for the fact that I also bought some new summer maternity clothes on OldNavy.com today. Besides... I got 20% off my whole order, free shipping AND I had a $10 off reward coupon that expires tomorrow. :) And how could I resist this cute little hat for BabyW:

  1. You are a "niece after my own heart" - I love coupon shopping. I know you've heard the stories of Aunt Debbie and I putting a grocery store out of business for "doubling the difference" (just kidding) ---- but we got great deals. We were getting 100's of dollars worth of groceries for $20.00/$30.00 ---- I love a bargain and I can tell that you come from the same genes...

    Love the hat. He'll have to wear it on his debut on your mom and dad's boat. I was just thinking about baby W this morning. I cannot wait to meet him. I know he's so precious.

    Love you guys...
