Shopping Trip

This week's shopping trip was my major one for this pay period. I am actually so excited to share it with you because I got over $20 worth of groceries for FREE!  The items were either a "give me" when you bought so much of an item or free after a high value coupon.  I planned out my trip and I was actually pretty excited to be getting the free items. My free items for this trip were ketchup, baby formula, body wash, bagels and a gallon of milk.  The two ketchup bottles and baby formula were free after high value coupons.  Since I do not have any more babies, I am planning on donating the baby formula. The bagels was free with purchasing 3 lbs of I can't believe it's not butter.  The gallon of milk was free with 4 boxes of Kellogg's cereal. The body wash was free after using a buy two get one free coupon.

Along with the free items I also received a $5 off next shopping order coupon and $2 off next shopping order coupon! Those definitely will come in handy this coming up week to get milk, eggs, and produce in the house on the cheap.
