Did Some Shopping!

Whew..it has been awhile since I went out to the stores to “coupon” !
I have had family here this month for a few weeks, and then went out of town for a week.
So I really needed this little couponing getaway tonight.. 🙂

Can I just whine a little to you all..my dear readers.. Whilst in Vancouver last week my purse was stolen! (I left purse in car, they broke window and stole it) Now, I was probably most upset about the coupons,Register Rewards, gift cards and catalinas inside..I had lots of good ones in there. Some Rainchecks too.. (waaaaahhh…) I knew you would all understand my pain….I have the attitude of “Take Anything but the coupons!!!” lol!

Anyhoo…on to my shopping.

Oh thats right..wait. You may not want to see.

I did it again.

Just close your eyes..okay? You never saw this.

I bought that item I am not supposed to buy.

Cereal. My cheap arch enemy. Always beckoning me to buy it.  Yeah, the stockpile hasnt really gone down much.

You know I dont have any more room. But I couldnt help myself!

I did it all for the movie tickets. I love the movies! Speaking of which, I just reached $3,000.00 in savings so you all know what that means..giveaway time! So stay tuned. Hmmm..Anyone need cereal?..LOL..just kidding.

I purchased 16 boxes Kelloggs cereal -used $1/1 coupons
2 boxes cheez-its – used $1/2 coupons
1 packages keebler cookies – -used $1/2 coupons
6 Vitamin waters — drank one -used $1/1 coupons
Got BACK 2 Vouchers for 2 movie tickets EACH! So I added the $36 that I will save when I go to the movies to my savings totals!
