Last time I was together with all my siblings, we shared (or bragged) about our best shopping trips, i.e. where we spent the least amount of money and due to the diligent use of coupons came away with the most food.
Albertsons was having a sale last week where you buy $30 of certain products and then you get $15 back for your next purchase. We did this last night with OK results but not the best because I think it was the last night of the sale and a lot of the good food was gone. We ended up getting over $202.38-worth of food for $49.45 (before tax on both). I prepared extensive shopping lists with item descriptions and attached coupons fer every item. We didn't buy anything without using a coupon on it.
Not too bad and we still have $15 to spend on our next trip. Megan really wants to spend the coupons on a gift card to a nice restaurant but says the responsible thing would be to spend it on diapers. A fancy dinner without kids sounds really nice these days. Who knew that three kids crying/whining at the same time could be so loud?
