A coupon for Kotex popped out of the machine when I scanned my card. Major win! I might wind up donating the dish soap, but I'm def keeping the other two items. The cashier commented on me being a smart shopper which made me so happy, especially since this wasn't even that great of a trip!

Safeway: OOP $13.18/Saved $12.74

Cheese $1.99 (saved $1)
5 B&J Ice Creams $1.99 each WYB 3 or more
($1/2 coupon and $1.50/3 coupon)
Green Grapes $3.36 (saved $1.69)
($1.99/lb)

Total OOP: $13.18
Total Savings: $12.74//50% (sale and coupons)

Got my best price EVER on Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream (my fave!). They were on sale for $1.99 WYB 3 or more and I had coupons that printed off at Giant supermarket. Even though they had the Giant logo on them, they said Manufacturer's Coupon on top, so they took them. That means that I paid $1.50 each for 5 pints of B&J, my absolute best ever! Plus I got a $2 Catalina, something that I didn't realize was going to happen. Fun surprise!

CVS:OOP $1.77/Saved $20.97

Organic Samples ~ I filled out a survey about what types of natural and organic samples I'd like to receive. I'm curious to see what comes from this, if anything. I really try to eat organic and healthy stuff, so hopefully this will introduce me to some new stuff!
