1st Official 2009 Savings Day
I have picked up a few deals already for this week. They are small b/c I must admit I’m a little burnt from the holiday chaos. I had a couple of trips that were “just need to my coupons before they expire” trips. So the deals weren’t quite as sweet, but I did okay. I ventured into Food Lion for the 1st time also and was very pleased.
And just when I thought my shopping for snacks was over…it’s bowl game season!
I am only going to list my FL trip for now since I’m very short on time today. I’ll list the others a little later in the week.

Total before sales and q’s: 41.21
Minus sale prices - 14.46

I always feel I’ve done well when I’ve saved more than I’ve spent. I thought this was a decent trip considering I got 4 lbs of cheese, 3 lbs of meat, butter and eggs for less than $20. A basic break down I only paid .49 for a dozen eggs and .14 for 4 sticks of butter. I matched up my FL Qs with MFR Qs to save more.
