Things I've Learned:

-  I absolutely love when things work out just the way they are suppose to. 

-  It's still early on in the week.  If these sales boggle your mind, use my scenarios or others (Deal Finding Mom is a good one).  They work - obviously.  The good thing about this transaction is that I got almost all of my coupons from the internet - http://www.coupons.com/ and http://www.bettycrocker.com/

-  My Shaw's is still stocked up full of the sale things.  So I don't feel guilty working this deal more than once.  Remember - if you don't need these items, your food pantry does!

I wish my store doubled. They read every coupon, and I never get lucky. 10 cents is awesome!

Amy I sympathize! I went to my favorite cashier who always just scans my coupons and lets them double...the bagger announced that he was doing it wrong on my CAT purchases of this week and made him UN-double all of the internet coupons that say DO NOT DOUBLE on them. Cost me at least $4.50 extra. Very disappointing!

I think this is when I first stumbled across your blog. I miss the old Shaw's days too.
