Weekly Shopping Trip--Savings $140.80 plus

This week I made up for the lack luster shopping that I did last week!  There was some decent deals this week to snag so I armed myself with a list and my coupons and shopped at three stores this week.  I actually shopped at Meijer twice this week because of overlooking a couple of items that I had on my list!  Who forgets to get milk at the store when they don't have any in their fridge when they leave to get it???  I do!!!

The first time I went to Meijer this week, I can't believe that the cashier was even a cashier!  He was soooooo slow!!!  I got into the checkout line at 3:18 pm there was two people in front of me; one person he was halfway through her order when I got into the line and the other person only had about 20 items.  I had looked at the other lanes and they were filled even more so I stuck with where I was at and besides he had not dealt with me before and my stack of coupons!!  Well by the time it was my turn was 3:28pm, he finished my order up and I was walking out the door at 3:42pm!!!  I can't believe that I spent almost 1/2 hour in line on a Wednesday afternoon!!!  At any rate, I do not think I will be going through his lane again anytime soon.
