All in a days work...

So we left the house at 9:30. Headed to Huntsville and first stop was supposed to be Kmart but we passed a Kroger on the way. We ended up stopping there first.

For under $30 we got...
15 Chicken Noodle Soups
25 Tomato Soups
16 Various (non chicken noodle/tomato soup)
16 Spagettios
8 Fruit Snacks (but the lady rang up 9 )
8 Old El Paso Taco Shells
2 Kids Yogurts
2 Microwave Popcorns

The first transaction I saved 72% and the second transaction I saved 86%. Not too shabby if I do say so myself.

Next we stopped at KMart armed with my list (that I had to tape back together since DD tore it up this morning and HCW was down... ) And we found a few things but the manager was a total jerk when DH asked him a question about an item on clearance. So I left the buggy with everything in it in the middle of the aisle. I know I know, not exactly a mature thing, but I was ticked.

Then we went to Sam's where I spent WAAAY too much. Well not really, but we spent almost $250. We bought a case of ground chuck (90%/10%, I'm extremely picky about my ground meat) and two eye of the round roasts, a pork loin, chicken nuggets, chicken tenderloins, and 5 of their nestle pure life water (I'm picky about my water too LOL)

Then we stopped at Publix, just to look for coupons. Ended up getting my parents Land O Lakes margarine (the ONLY kind they'll eat, and you can't find it in town) for $1.65/2. Didn't do so good on the coupon front though.

Then we stopped at CVS next town down... We are looking for the camping chair/table set that's clearanced down to $9.99. Couldn't find it, but got DD three sets of 4 bath toys (frog, duck, and dolphin, she's obsessed with squeeky bath toys) and dh found BBQ baskets on clearance for $1.

Then we decided to try Publix one more time. This time we did a bit better. Got a few coupon booklets put out by Bayer Healthcare that says "save up to $16". I haven't had a chance to sit down and go through the booklets though, but it doesn't expire until 3/31/08. I also found some great peelies but still no wine tags or tear pads. And very few (sucky) blinkies.

We tried the KMart there too... No luck on the clearance. DH REALLY wanted to get the blower. Ours died two days ago and he's heartbroken. :frown: But I did get a bunch of b2g1f Kelloggs Cereal coupons.

Then we stopped at the last CVS before we hit home... We hit the jackpot. TWO of the $6 programmable coffee makers and one of the $9.99 camping chair/table sets. WOOHOO!!!!

In the end all told we were gone for almost 8 hours.

Want to hear the worst part though, LOL We had to go to OUR CVS when we got home because DH needed to get a prescription filled. :mad6: We got to stay home for 45 minutes before we had to run back out.

Anyway that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
