Evening Shopping Trip

Did I mention that Ry wasn't a good shopper yesterday morning?  I decided to head home after my second Albertsons trip & if I had the chance to make it out again, then I would.  My sister inlaw came over around 7:30 & I got to finish up my shopping plan.

First Stop - Target
  I bought 2 - Ortega Taco Seasoning Packets (paid $0.34 for 2)
               4 - Scotch Tape (all FREE)
               4 - 10pk of Bic Pens (all FREE)
               2 - 10pk of PaperMate Pens (all FREE)
               2 - V8 Fusion Drinks (paid $1.98 for 2)
  TOTAL:  $2.32.  Paid with the $5.00 gift card that I had gotten at my last Target couponing trip. ($0.00 out of pocket running total)


Second Stop - Albertsons
   I completed Transaction #3, but I swapped the Nature Valley Thins for 4 boxes of Golden Grahams which my sister inlaw said she liked.
   I bought 4 - Golden Grahams
                1 - Pot Roast
   TOTAL:  $11.88, used 2 of my $2.00 off my next shopping trip catalinas & paid $7.88 out of pocket.  ($7.88 running total)
     I also got:  A catalina for FREE milk

                      A catalina for $2.00 off my next $2.00 or more purchase

                      A catalina for $2.00 off my next shopping order

                      A catalina for $2.00 off 5 General Mills Cereals

                      AND a catalina for $4.00 off my next purchase of $40 or more

Third Stop - H Mart  (this was not a coupon trip.  this is the only store that carries the brown rice we like)
     I bought 1 - 15lb bag of brown rice
                   1 - package of baby bok choy
                   1 - thing of ginger
                   1 - package of thin sliced beef
    TOTAL:  $32.35 out of pocket ($40.23 running total)


Fourth & Final Stop - Safeway (a stop mostly just to buy my beloved Magnum Ice Cream that was on sale LOL)
       I bought 2 - Magnum Double Chocolate Ice Cream Bars
                    1 - Small bottle of Pepsi
                    1 - Box of Capri Sun
                    1 - Package of Cascade Dish Washer Gel Packs
       TOTAL:  $12.03 out of pocket ($52.26 running total)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So my complete shopping trip for the day was:  $73.32.  I think I did great!! Especially if I didn't have to buy rice this week, which is $22.99 (would've made it $50.33) & if i'd gone shopping earlier yesterday, I wouldn't have bought the 10pc Fried Chicken meal, I would've had time to cook (would've made it around $41.00).  Poor planning on my part.

I'm hoping that this stuff is starting to make sense or that the breakdowns are easy to follow.  If not, can you please let me know & I can adjust where necessary.  I'd love to help you all in any way!!
