My total before sales & coupons was $160.68 for an 85% savings!! And we are totally stocked on ice cream. I'm planning on making an ice cream cake for DD#1's birthday on Sunday so that will probably use 2-3 cartons, but the rest should last us a LONG time!! We went and bought a chest freezer off freecycle this morning and paid $50 for it, and I'm already ahead on savings because of it.

That's fantastic. I just saw that one of my local stores (by work) is having a grand re-opening, I should have checked out the deals.

Why did you have to pay for something on Freecycle... my understanding is that it's against the rules to exchange money for an item.
