Holy Coupons!!!!

Wow, the coupon ladies have done it to me again! I spent 2 hours at Albertsons last night. Then after the boys went to bed me and Lilly went to Lin's at 11:30 to get some cereal. I know this is crazy. Some people think I am spending more on gas for all my little trips to the store but, the check I write for gas has not changed. Here is my list for yesterday, sorry no pictures as Chris wont let me take them when he is around.

3 Wacky Mac Pasta 58 cents each
1 Twix Candy Bar FREE
1 Gallon Milk $1.99
4 Taco Bell Hard Taco Shells FREE
3 Keebler Club Sticks $1 each
4 Ritz Crackers and 4 Wheat Thins 30 cents TOTAL (had to pay tax)
1 Bag Chips (for my salsa) $1.88
6 Boxes Kelloggs Cereals (Blueberry Mini Wheats, Frosted Mini Wheats, Corn Pops, and Froot Loops) 75 cents each

TOTAL $14.56 a savings (if purchased at Albies and Lin's) of $59.45.

I have been shopping at Walmart since they started carrying food. We bought what we could at the little Walmart in the current Cal Ranch store. I am a Walmart woman but, these deals are too much for me to pass on. Walmart pays my bills so I will still keep them on my list but, I am converted to Albies. After the many trips to the car yesterday I am going to plan better and get the coupon job done before the very last day of the sale. Coupons are my new job. I can work from home so, I am still a SAHM with coupons.

Oh no, big sale at Albies today. Spend $25 get a coupon for $10 off my next shopping trip. Let me scour the coupons to make this a bigger and better shopping trip. Kids get ready we're going to Albies!!!

PS Thanks to Lindsay and Gary as they loaned me 1 penny to pay for my taco shells :)
