I've still been making several little trips these past weeks. Over the weekend, I went to Harris Teeter twice for free croutons and brownie mix, to FF for inexpensive chicken, and to Rite Aid and CVS for the usual freebies. I know I won't be able to keep this up forever. I'm about ready to eat from my pantry from now until we move next month... except for Easter dinner!
Here's my Farm Fresh trip today.
Before coupons, the total was $24.70. I spent $8.83 out of pocket and got back 3 $1 catalinas for next week, so in effect everything shown was $5.83 when everything is said and done.
I grabbed up artichoke hearts and canned beans because they were on sale - no coupon. No, I don't buy popcorn every week. Why do you ask? (It was free - and one of David's favorite evening snacks!) I used my free milk coupon from last week to splurge on 2% milk!!!!! I feel rich.
By the way - I joined a coupon train for the first time this week, and I"m first on the list. I hope everyone else is as excited about the coupons I sent on as I am.

My kids love to snack on popcorn too. Wish I had that coupon! I did have the $1/1 Minute Maid, so hubby was thrilled to get free OJ!
Where are you moving? Still in VA?
Hope you get coupons back! Thanks for being a conductor. Most people didn't want the job :)

Danielle - the coupon train is a circle of 6-10 people who send an envelope of coupons around and put in as many as they take out. You can find more information here: http://www.thecouponchallenge.com/2011/03/join-the-coupon-challenge-coupon-train.html
Dana - We're just moving down the road. We have to move out of student housing when David graduates *yay*
