AMAZING!!!!!

I've found some awesome grocery deals these past few weeks, and though I promised myself not to blog about my coupon/good deal excitment, I'm making this one exception for one reason and one reason only...it is SOOOOOO awesome!

Hats off to Shaws, my favorite grocery store (mainly b/c everytime I turn around they are spitting out free $$ at me, literally spitting out of the register). Here's a glimpse of the awesomeness:



Total out of pocket $38.48
but then I got $60 back in store credit coupons off my next purchase.

So, I went back and hit the awesome promotion again.





This was my best day, are you ready?


All of this for 9 cents!!!!! (thanks to some of that $60 worth of store credit)

So, I paid 9 cents and again the register spit out store credit coupons...$45 worth!
I decide to hit the promotion one more time.

I had fewer coupons to use this last time around, so I did spend $11.40.

Again the register gave me $45 in credit coupons.

At this point, out of pocket I spent $49.97 cash and still had $50 worth of coupons for the future remaining.(are you feeling the awesomeness?)


This week, there was a different promotion and of course I had to try again.

65 cents for this pile of goodies. I still have $20 remaining in coupons and thanks to this week's deal, I am getting a $20 rebate check in the mail.

I could go on and on about how great this is, about the 18 boxes of cereal, 7 bags of cheese, 7 things of laundry detergent, 24 or so pasta/rice sides, not to mention about a billion fruit snacks, brownie mixes, yogurts, and more. I'll stop going on and on and on, but isn't it just SOOO FUN!

You sound like me! You got some GREAT deals! I'm totally jealous... I haven't gotten those steals in a long time. Way to go!

Wow! But I'm disappointed that for some reason my blog is not updating that you've posted until a couple days later, so I keep on missing such cute pictures (since I am now seeing STL part 5 and 6 today).

Oh! I wish I was better at this. I want to be better at this. I just don't know how people figure it out. I don't seem to pay attention. I need you to train me. I love hearing about deals.

Cara....can I say how much I hate your guts right now?...pure jealousy! (o: Of course they have no such place as Shaws in Seattle. Lucky you! I say...when you can get a good deal...take it!
