Things I have learned -

- Do not, under any circumstances go to a lane with a middle aged woman who wishes she was a store manager. I was all happy in my lane with my bubbly red-headed teenager who is actually a lot smarter than she looks - then the evil one comes up and says "I can take you at Lane 9." Great. I had a stack of coupons higher than the Prudential and she literally read everyone out loud with expiration date. Not fun.

- It was HARD to get to $120 post coupons. I actually went over. I was at about $83 once I completed my list (there were some things they were out of). I ended up filling it with some meat, fruit snacks, etc.

- The last time I went grocery shopping was May 1st. So not too bad for not grabbing food in 10 days.

- I'm trying to shift into a healthier lifestyle. You can't tell from my Ramen Noodle and Ice Cream purchases, but really, I am.

- I absolutely LOVE going grocery shopping without my kids. It's the most relaxing, fun thing ever.

- If you haven't already, check out Coupons.com. There are some great coupons on there ($1/1 Kellogg's cereal, $1/1 Kraft BBQ Sauce (this goes on sale for $1 at Shaw's in the summer - so it will be free), Crystal Light coupons, Fruit Snacks, etc!

- The Cottonelle - which is $4.88 with the Shaw's Coupon from the circular had a little machine RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT filled with $1/1 MFCs! Remember you can use Store Coupons with MFCs! Be on the look out for great finds like this!
