2/25 Pick'n'Save Trip

Armed with my new binder and coupon sheets I planned a trip to Pick'n'Save.

It has been about two weeks since my last trip to the grocery store. For this trip I had a need to increase the wedding stockpile and also replenish the selection of beverages in our fridge and possibly get some more lunch stuff for myself.

Here is a look at the list I went with:

 

I had some things marked for Wednesday, but unfortunately didn't get all that I had wanted because they were out of things already. I don't know how they can run out of products on the very first day of the sale, but oh well nothing I can do about it.

Another thing unique about this shopping trip was that Tim's brother, Ben, came down from Green Bay for the weekend and was going to witness my couponing firsthand.

Here is a picture of my receipt from the transaction and coupons I received at the register:

I didn't go into this trip with the idea of saving all this money and using all these coupons, but I wish I could've saved more. I did however can some individual good deals and we stocked up a lot of items for the wedding.

I ended up spending $68.71, but I had a savings total of $36.44 and I came away with $3 off a later purchase plus a coupon for a free gallon of milk.

As far as Ben seeing me couponing it was a less than stellar showing, especially since I promised to get him some Wild Berry poptarts as a part of one of the deals I was doing, but unfortunately that was one of the flavors not included.

I hope to do better the next time I go to Pick'n'Save which may be this coming week since it is Spring Break! YAY
