Man, it’s hard work trying to figure out the deals. From now on I’m just waiting for Grocery Game’s lists to come out on Sundays. But since I knew I was working OT at the office tomorrow after church, I wanted to do my shopping today. It took FOREVER to pull together the various flyers and find the deals and then find the coupons on top of that. At least 90 minutes to do that.
I went to four stores: Walgreens, BiLo, Lowe’s and Food Lion. I won’t separate the shopping this time around, but I SPENT $79.67. Original price would have been $134.78. So I saved only 41% this time around. I do plan on returning two items because I wasn’t happy with the discount (it wouldn’t let me use the second coupon, so I paid more than I wanted to for those two items and didn’t have the energy to flag down a store employee to fix my self-checkout list).
Also – Food Lion? I hate that store. I spent most of my time in that store mainly because it is NOT organized well. I’m so glad I’m not getting their list anymore – it’s the last time I’ll go there unless I can get something for FREE.
