Elated & Exhausted

HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY FOR ALL OF THIS?

Mind you, there are little things you can't see like...
Benadryl, 2 packs of batteries, Excedrin, 2 rolls of sausage,
2 shower cleaners, 2 hair detangling sprays and about 10 yogurts.
Not only did I buy my weeks worth of food,
but purchased WAY WAY WAY more than usual!!

And that milk is no regular cow stuff!
It's the $4 milk, fortified for kids with extra vitamins.

Normally I allocate $100 a week for food.

Today at Kroger in Texas and Louisiana they are
offering to double your coupons up to $2 instead of $1!!

My fellow coupon friends and I were ecstatic.
It's all we talked about for the past 3 days.
We even went on an excursion last night to
scope out the deals, find the exact spots,
and hide a few choice drugs we were afraid
would sell out.
(I felt a little guilty about that...but only for about 5 seconds)

All in all, I spent about 5 hours shifting through coupons
and organizing myself so I could zoom through
the store guaranteeing nothing I wanted would be
sold out.

And it was worth it!

Have you figured out how much you would spend for all that?
The crazy thing?
I had to stand on a chair and put my hand all the way up
to the ceiling to get a picture that barely caught everything
in one shot!

So here is my total:
(it's in 2 transactions because you
could only use 1 like coupon per transaction)

I spent $76.81
(less then my designated weeks worth,
with some to spare)

I saved $176.53
plus $10 more in a mail-in rebate
to Kellogg's

There's nothing like saving 70%
of your grocery bill to put a smile on a girls face!
