My Smith's Shopping Trip

I packed up the Bambina this morning and hit Smith's at 7am right after her morning feeding. I put her in the front carrier (to maximize cart space!) and went to town. It was so nice shopping early while the aisles were empty! Everything I wanted was in stock except for the Yoplait Greek Yogurt, Mentos Gum (just plain couldn't find it) and the Sunkist Soda (they had 1, I wanted 4). Overall it was an awesome shopping trip, and the register doubled all the coupons up to $1 automatically!

12 Gerber Baby Food
12 CoverGirl Eye Shadow

My total before coupons was $185.75 + tax, and my total after was $41.41 + tax -- which represents a savings of 78 percent! And that includes 12 packs of babyfood, which I just plain needed (and I had two $0.75/6 MFQs that doubled to $1.00/6). I also had a bunch of $2 CoverGirl MFQ's from BzzAgent a while back, so I got a little overage from those with the P&G Promo. Overall it was a good shopping trip.

If you've been wanting to try shopping with coupons and saving, this is a great week to start! You can do this! Clip what you've got and head to Smith's to do some damage. Your pocket book will thank you.
