Way to go! I remember my first trip to albies after I found this site!!! (Just a few weeks ago) thats what everyone is here for to share ideas for us all to use.

Today I went to Albie's for my first run and ended up with the following: 3 jars 28 oz (yes, I messed up on this one, should have gotten the 18 ozer) 2 Ken's dressings 1 2-liter 7-up (was the regular so I didn't get the Cat) 1 2-pak of Aquafresh toothbrushes (plan on going back for more when they restock or going to another store) 5 Wisks (2 50 oz. using the $1.50/off q along with the $5/$15 deal, 3 of the 2x...probably would have been better just sticking with the All, but I got excited) 5 small & mighty All's. I ended up including tax at $11.26. I was lovin' it. And, the fact that I walked away knowing that I messed up a bit and could have done even better made me giddy for the future. So, thank you sooooo very much for the amazing help. From the previews of all the diff. stores and inserts, to the match-ups, to the trial and errors, it's a tremendous help to us newbies! I really have to send a special shout-out to ILv2Shop! We met here, then we got to meet in person today. She was amazing and gave me a ton of inserts to help me get started. She's the reason I was able to do 3/4 of what I did. Thanks!!!
