I had been stuck at home all last week because of the ice storm, so on Saturday afternoon, my husband let me go shopping without Evelyn.  I enjoy shopping with her but it is such a rare and beautiful thing to get to do all my shopping without being distracted by a baby, or having to drag her in and out of the carseat over and over! So nice!

The first Kroger I went to did not have the correct sales running, it seemed, so I just bought some basics and didn’t even use coupons.  It was a complete madhouse with all the SuperBowl shoppers, so I was a little frazzled. I guess I was more upset than I thought at not getting any particular savings on that run because I ended up trying for one of those five-finger discounts that I’ve heard about!  I was putting my stuff in the car when I noticed the hot dog buns hiding behind my purse.  I took them back in and paid for them, of course, but I had to laugh.  I am all about getting things for free but let’s not get carried away. :)

Highlights:
.09 Green Giant Steamers (I have 17 coupons left and so I asked for a raincheck.  My first raincheck!)
YoPlait Plus and FiberOne yogurts, free after coupons and ecoupons.
many, many boxes of Life cereal for a total of $1.49/ea. It’s not the best cereal price, but Life is my favorite cereal and I buy it without coupons

This is CVS on the right and RiteAid on the left. I also went to Walgreens for more profitable toothpaste.

CVS Highlists:
2 boxes of throat coolers! BOGO coupon for a profit of $4.99. I have been looking for these all month and had finally found three in another town, so I did finally get my five boxes.
2 NutraTrim gum… also the first time I’ve seen them in stock, so I bought them.

Rite-Aid Highlights:
GoodNights sleeping shorts – free  after coupon, SCR and $5/$25 Rite-Aid coupon. I don’t need these and hope I never do, but they’ll  go in a yard sale just fine for the price. :)
Veet – $1 profit after SCR  and coupon.

Evie “helped” me with the product displays and some of the items may have gone missing from the pictures.  That’s the trouble with toddlers… they’re very busy all the time!
