Things From this Trip:

-  I wasn't going to go, but I saw the Red Plum today and the Ragus, Skippy and Lipton Onion Soup mix were calling my name. 

-  I had a code for a free Red Box movie.  So I let my sons pick out a movie.  They drove me crazy during this trip but that's nothing out of the ordinary.

-  The cashier actually asked me how I always get great coupons to print out.  I just told her I work the sales to my favor.  The lady behind me made a comment about how coupons aren't worth it because they make you buy things you normally wouldn't.  I understand, but heavens, I'm not brand picky at all.  Getting a bunch of tomato sauce, peanut butter and soup for dirt cheap works for me (regardless of brand), it will be eaten and no, in fact, I wouldn't buy these things if I didn't have coupons for them because I would feel ripped off if I didn't have coupons!!

Your stock up for donations a few weeks ago inspired me with this Catalina deal - I have about 15 boxes of cereal, a case of paper towels, soup and 12 jars of peanut butter to take to my local food pantry! Thanks for all of your inspiring tips. I am hosting an what am I going to do with all that ice cream - I had 75 cent coupons that doubled on the Breyers!

First,
Lena, awesome job for the food pantry.

Becky, just a quick note to look inside the fiber 1 boxes. Mine had B1G1F for the yogurt and they are good until Feb 2010. I used all but 1 for this past deal.

Anyway, thanks for the blog. I used your soup scenario to stock up on soup for me, my parents and the food bank. Thanks!
