My shopping day

I went shopping this afternoon and I was pretty excited about my deals! So much so that I took a picture. I did the Hilander Mega Event (buy 10 particular items, get $5 off your total) and used a bunch of coupons. I was able to get 32 items for $28.30 (that's $0.88 an item).

Now you may wonder what I'm going to do with so many granola bars - well, we're going to eat them over the next few months! I am a "stockpiling" grocery shopper. That's why my picture looks full of things you wouldn't buy in a typical grocery shopping trip. I already have a bunch of chicken, ground beef, and pork in the freezer - meats I bought when they were on sale - so I don't need to buy any for a while. I shop the sales. The only things I have to buy not on sales (but they usually are anyway), are fresh fruits & vegetables and milk.

So here is what I got for $28.30:
2 - boxes of Frosted Mini Wheat Cereal
2 - bags of Doritos Nacho Cheese
2- tubs of Land O Lakes spreadable butter
2 - boxes of Toaster Strudel pastries
6 - boxes of assorted Granola bars
3 - bags of Armour meatballs
2 - boxes of Betty Crocker au gratin potatoes
1 - bottle of Purex
3 - bags of Sargento grated cheese
4 - boxes of Betty Crocker fruit snacks
1 - small pint of chocolate ice cream
2 - Nestle frozen cup of lemonade
2 - boxes of Kroger thin spaghetti (these were not part of the Mega deal, but were free after coupon - free with purchase of Armour frozen meatballs)

When we do our advanced coupon class, we'll talk about "stockpiling" grocery shopping. Just wanted to give you a taste of it!
