Breakdown:  $21.06 out of pocket

8 Boxes of Cereal

3 Packs of Dan-o-nino Yogurt

2 Packs of Tree Top Juice

1 Gallon of Milk

1 Franz Bread

and a 10pc Fried Chicken meal for lunch today.

The crappy thing...is that the Fried Chicken meal was $9.  So really my GROCERY out of pocket was $12.06.  Which makes my trip sound much more successful. LOL!  I still have the rest of my trip that i'd like to finish, but we'll see what happens.  My Ry was NOT in the mood to shop today.  However the nice cashier said "Hey, i've seen adults come through here today much more grumpier than her, especially with those Twice The Value coupons.  Their insane!"
