My 1/2/11 Shopping Trip

Today I went on my first shopping trip of 2011! I went to Rite Aid, CVS, Stop & Shop, and Shaws. In the future I hope to take the time to post pictures of my purchases, but for now I'll just track how much I spend OOP and saved.

  • (1) Wisk Detergent 2/$10.00 or $5.00 ea on sale

I used the following coupons and ECB:

  • -$1.oo /4 Kleenex

  • -$0.50 ECB from past purchases
I paid $6.09 OOP and saved $12.71 today according to my receipt or 68%

Not too bad of a start in 2011!

  3. does your local Shaws give you a hard time about coupons? It seems like my Shaws scrutinizes every single coupon, then they pull your groceries back out of the bags to re-count them. they drive me crazy. I wish I had a Krogers near me I read good things about Krogers.

  4. My local Shaws seems to be paying very close attention to internet printed coupons. The clerk really analyzed my B1G1 coupons for the vitamin water. She even called the manager for verification. I think people must be abusing coupons there or they are getting fraudulent coupons possibly. But it dos make it more tough for us.

  5. Good job on the couponing! Thanks for sharing the deals that you found!! I'm trying to do better on my couponing, so it helps to read other's accounts.
