♥ I love Christmas!

I went in to Albertsons today with Emma thinking I was going to get some good deals... I was so wrong!!!

5 General Mills Cereals... on sale for $1.88 each
5 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks... on sale for $1.88 each
10 Nature Valley Nut Cluster... on sale for $2.49 each
1 Snyder pretzels... on sale for $2.00 each
I did this in 2 transactions but I'll combine the deals here...
$45.70 in groceries - $28.35 in coupons = 17.35 out of pocket and then I got $20.50 back so they paid me $3.15 to grab all that stuff... LOVELY! So yeah it wasn't a good deal it was a GREAT DEAL!!! Oh yeah and those nut clusters are so YUMMY!!!

You are a great shopper with coupons and deals! Our Albertsons got bought out and now it's associated foods so no more great get money for spending money.

the only thing that stinks is that you can't use them for a year! :o) I went to Craft Warehouse and got a bunch of stuff for 70% off! Feels good to get a great deal!
