After a few weeks of very little to no shopping, it looks like this week will definitely make up for it. I hit up Publix last Friday and I managed to get to Target yesterday. I am planning on getting back to regular Thursday Publix shopping tomorrow so it is safe to say that I will have made my way through our reserve grocery cash that I saved over the last few weeks of not spending much. Oh well, that's why I love having a cash system for groceries and household items.
I was so happy with yesterday's Target trip. As you can tell from the picture, I managed to stock up on tons of paper products and grab things like foil, trash bags, and sandwich bags. My Target had tons of household clearance items and luckily I had a bunch of my coupons with me so I was able to take advantage of some things that weren't on my original shopping list.
I was especially excited about the Colgate deal where I got toothpaste and mouth wash for .32 cents each, free soup and the Charmin toilet paper deal. Almost everything I bought was under $1 and I almost exclusively used printable coupons which is great for those of you who don't get the paper.
