- The only thing that put me over the top was the Dunkin Donuts coffee - $12.48 for both 12 oz bags. My husband needed it to bring into work. Usually he brings in the creamer and sugar but he felt like "being nice" (what's that!?! ha ha!) and wanted me to pick those up for him. The guy he works with is "too good for Folgers". So as my husband is working away drinking DD coffee, I'm apparently slumming it over here in the house with the best part of waking up.
- The pork loin seemed like an awesome deal. On sale for $1.79/lbs and usually these suckers go for $4.89/lbs.
- I couldn't find a 3 lbs pack of ground beef. I asked the cashier if I could still use the Shaw's coupon and she said "of course!"
- I was recently mailed 3 $20 off $120 purchases. I will never get to $120. But I had it with me. I found a lady with a little girl who had a full cart. I gave it to her and went in the next line. So she rung up and her total was $118. She said something like "Oh schucks! So I can't use this?" So the nice TEENAGER cashier said "Well let me see it! So she scanned it and it took off $20. She told the customer that if she ever has these type of coupons, as long as you come within a dollar or two, the register will take it. Good info to know.

Things I've learned:
- It feels refreshing to do one huge trip and knowing I don't have to go back for another week +.
- Sure, I spent more than I wish to in a week. But after looking over my purchases, those DD coffees put a dent in my spending. Plus, now that the warmer weather is here, I'm buying a ton of fruit. It's just what we do in the summer.
- Those Rice Work things taste like organic Doritos.
- Thanks to The Grocery Cart Challenge, I've been trying to really see how much we spend per week on groceries.

I love the little hands in the Shaw's picture going for the grapes.
Becky, we tried the rice works ( I used the illegal free coupon before anyone knew it was fake!) they were awful, and would have costed $2.69 a bag!
ooooh good job! was wondering where you got the wise coupons? i have printables for 50 cents off 2 but not off just one. thanks!
Ha ha about the Rice Works! Yeah, they aren't spectacular, but not the worst thing I've had (those SoyJoy bars were pretty nasty!).
Eden - the .50/1 Cheetos coupon is on WWW.wisesnacks.com. They put up a new coupon every month. Usually .50/1 of something. Print limit is 2.
Ditto what SO said: LOVE the little hands!
Also this:
"So as my husband is working away drinking DD coffee, I'm apparently slumming it over here in the house with the best part of waking up."
was HYSTERICAL. I'm slumming it, too. Haha! You crack me up.
