Albertsons Shopping Trip

I have not really had a lot of time or inclination for grocery shopping. A lot of that had to do with my garage being an utter mess because we were lazy this winter in putting things away properly. But we tackled the garage and got the stockpile cleaned up and re-organized. Put together a car load of food to donate to our local food bank/soup kitchen. It was a great opportunity to take note of what we need and don't need so that I can re-focus on shopping for deals that are needed to fill in the holes. So that lead me to a nice shopping trip to Albertsons last night. While I know I could have done better in my shopping trip if I did multiple transactions to take advantage of the 3 clippable double coupons I really find that to be time consuming and as a mom of 5 kids, that is really not a good use of my time to get the quanity of product that I want to stockpile. So instead I just did one really big transaction and used just 3 double coupons. I still did a great job and saved over $345.

I stocked up on:
Kraft BBQ sauce
Mashmallows (camping trip in July)
Canned Beans
Soft scrub
Tree-Top Apple Juice Boxes
Kraft Bagle-Fuls
Digiorno Flatbread Pizza pocket thingies
Grey Poupon mustard
Hamburger
Grapes (will freeze them today to eat as a frozen snack)
Jell-O No bake cheesecake mixes
International Delight Coffee creamer

Just to name some of the stuff...

Total OOP was $94 and my savings was $345. The poor guy behind me with his bag of frozen chicken breasts and box of cookies was very kind and patient as they scanned, scanned and scanned some more. I appologized to him for the length of time my transaction was taking but he was cool with it and in the end impressed with how much I saved. My thanks to the great cashiers at Albertsons too who are so great about my coupons. I ♥ Albertsons!
