*drum roll please*

Total Spent: $115.56

Now normally I wouldn't spend so much on a shopping trip but my Husband's WONDERFUL Aunt Sande very very kindly gave us 2 gift cards to Publix this week. With the great deals on chicken and some other things we use a lot in our house I figured I'd put her gift to good use! I think I did pretty good getting $281.02 worth of groceries for just $115.56!

FREEBIES

I got my free samples and coupons in the mail today from Kotex and Carefree. Yay! :-)

K-Mart Doubles 8/30 1st Trip

I took my first trip to K-Mart today for the doubles event that is going on this week. My experience was not that great. My cashier kept getting things confused and we had to have 2 managers come over to get it all straightened out. I hate causing problems like that for people as I have worked retail a lot myself and know how annoying it can be. I wanted my deals though, so I just kept apologizing for holding up the line. I spent more than I wanted but still got a decent amount of stuff for my money.

I bought:

3 Axe Shower Gels $12.79

I also left with a coupon for a free movie ticket from the Axe shower gel and a coupon for $5 off for my next trip.

Tomorrow I'm headed up to Jacksonville to do a couple more trips to K-Marts there with my cousin Heather. I have more free things on my list for tomorrow so my totals should be better. :-)
