Shopping Trips

I had to run into Publix tonight on the way home from music practice because my oldest son needed distilled water for Chemistry class tomorrow.  I called home to ask if we needed anything else, and my husband requested Oreos.  We were also out of milk and low on creamer.  So, I go into Publix with NO coupons (this was not a planned trip).

First stop, Oreos.  They had a peelie on them for “buy one package of Oreos, get $1 off milk”…score!
Next stop, creamer.  The pint size International Delight Coffee House flavors are priced 2/$3 or $1.50 each.  Right in front of them was a blinkie for $1 off.  So I got 6 @ 50¢ each!
Last stop, distilled water.  No coupon. Bummer.

I walked into the store with NO coupons; picked up 9 coupons in the store.
Spent $19.91, saved $14.70.
Not as good as I usually do with a planned trip, but not too bad!

One of the things I teach in my classes is to just pay attention.  Coupons are everywhere!
