Okay, here's what I did . . . not saying these are necessarily the very best $$ deals, but they were what was best for my family . . .
Btw, my Smart Balance milk coupon (yes, I only had one), did not fully double for some reason and it had to be fixed by hand. Also, the ZVR system was down at my store this morning. I have to return with my printed list of downloaded ZVRs to get the $12 I have coming.

Worst. SD. Ever.
I didn't get enough sleep last night, because I got up early to get my Smart Balance milk.
But somehow, by the time I was ready to check out, my 3 coupons were gone!
Retraced my steps, nowhere to be found.
I bought the milk anyway, thinking I'd find them in the van or the house, but never did.
My Muir Glen IP wouldn't scan.
The Target coupon for Bagel Bites is a store coupon. Why did I think it was a mfr? So no free Bagel Bites.
My zvr for Bounty and Tampax didn't come off.
I only used 10 coupons! This is unheard of for me. Every other event I've had to choose carefully which 20 to use on the first day - This time the deals just aren't there.
Sorry about the negativity - maybe I can get a nap today... (not)
Lost milk coupons? Big, big bummer.
I would take a nap, too.
I agree about this SDs being a tough slog . . .
I usually use all 20 coupons every day through at least the weekend. Today, the first day, I only used 18 of the 20 . . .
I'm going to keep diggng, because I have the time, and we could really use the stuff.

Pretty happy overall. The Smart Balance Milk was wiped out and so was the AllWhites. So bummed about those. But I did have a hard time using all 20 coupons today. The BC pototoes were a filler- did not want to waste any coupons!!![]()
Retail price - $100.28...Spent $30. Not the best I have ever done. I got Mueller Pasta (2), Gillette Body Wash, Gillette Deodorant, Old Spice Body Wash, Dawn, Always, Crest Pro Rinse, Oral B Floss, Tampax, POM, Smart Balance Milk, Sargento Cheese (6), Nature Made Vitamins, Tomatoes, and Bread.
I also received the P&G Catalina for the free rechargeable USB charger.
I forced myself to go to get the milk. Good thing I got there when I did it was almost gone!

Probably will be my only trip unless I go on Sunday morning.
I had sanity once upon a time I promise. It was just so long agoooo that I can't remember it
.
I couldn't wake up this morning so I didn't make it to HT until 8:15 this morning and of course the SB milk I like was all gone (oh well). I wasn't too excited but got a few things.
5 Lean Cuisine ($1/2, $1/3 zvr)
1 Bag of Tyson Patties ($1/1)

Looking at the other shopping trips I think I may go back later and grab 2 Pantene, Tampax Pearls, and some Nivea Lip balm (if there will be any left).
