Shaw's and Hannaford for just $3.25!

(see more of my shopping adventures below)


This was one of the best planned out shopping trips for me so far. It took a lot of planning (but it's getting much easier!) because I knew I was going to use a $20 coupon that I got for FREE for buying gas gift cards (I'll be doing that deal again because like Chrystie says... it's free money!!!). So, I wanted to get as close to $20 as possible without going under after all the discounts and coupons so I could use up my $20 (I got to within 32¢). Some of this stuff is from Shaw's and some is from Hannaford. I had coupons for everything in addition to the $20 and I took advantage of some really good sales.

I got the following:

24 Powerade drinks
8 tubs of Ritz Bits
4 boxes of Cheez-It Colby (quite yummy)
2 quarts of milk
4 cans of Bush's beans
1 dozen eggs
4 pints Ciao Bella sorbet/gelato
1 bag frozen peas
2 rolls of toilet paper
3 oranges
2 bananas
3 cans organic tomato paste
1 pack of Depends for my mother

All this stuff would have cost $100.50 at regular price. By matching coupons to sale prices, I only paid $3.25 and that includes the tax! It does not include the $1.20 bottle deposit. I don't count deposits in my totals because I will get that back.

Total Price:  $100.50
($101.70 if I include the deposit)
I paid:  $3.25
($4.45 if I include the deposit)

Total Savings: $97.25
