So I was at work today when my sister-in-law Jen called me. She had just returned from a grocery shopping trip at Albertsons, and wanted to share her shopping secrets with me. She told me what to buy, which coupons to print and use, and how exactly to check out and pay (I had to divide my groceries strategically into 3 different purchases...clever). I could not wait to get home and spread it all over my kitchen table and take a picture to put on my blog. I am not trying to brag, because all the credit goes to Jen, but I just get really excited when I can save money!!! I ended up buying 7 boxes of Progressive beef or chicken broth, 1 packet of Lipton soup mix, 2 packages of flour, 2 Wishbone salad dressings, 2 boxes of Cheerios, 2 boxes of Coco Puffs, 8 boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (Jeff's favorite), 2 boxes of Trix, 2 rolls of paper towels, 4 Betty Crocker boxes of mashed potatoes, 6 packages of Knorr Rice dinners, 3 cans of Betty Crocker frosting, 4 packages of Betty Crocker cookie mix, 3 boxes of Betty Crocker Peanut Butter Reeses Brownies (my favorite), 7 cans of corn, and 4 packages of Yoplait yogurt. Are you ready for the total??? With coupons and the $15 off your next visit I got in each of the 3 transactions for buying certain products, I ended up paying $44.08, plus I got another $15 off my next purchase. I ended up saving $113.63. A great deal, and I was able to buy name brand stuff, not the cheap brands...Let's just say Jeff and I are really excited to eat "rich people" food this next week! Thanks Jen!!!
