It's been a good week.

Thursday, I had my plan of attack ready for Shop & Save. I was able to get what was on my list without changing it up because of them being out of something. I didn't have anyone with me adding extra items to the cart, and I made it to the checkout with a cart full of groceries and paid $5.60. The cashier turned to the next cashier over and told her that I did even better than she does. That second cashier came over to me when I was bagging and told me I was going to have to share my secrets. I told her that it was simply matching coupons I had with sale prices.

4 boxes of Cheez-Its on sale for 1.28
