I did so good yesterday!!!
Yesterday, I went to Homeland (I only ever go there for the loss leaders) & I got about 1/2 our groceries (including lots of stockpile!!!)... what should've cost me $108.53 only cost me... $67.03!!!
this includes 6 boxes of cereal (2/$5) &a coupon ~ if you bought 2 special k boxes you got milk for $2.00 off ..any brand (& Homeland milk was already on sale for $2.88. So I essentially got 1 gal of milk for $0.88 
! I'll print the list as soon as I figure out what I did w/the reciept!

Thanks! I've never done that good at any store!!! & yesterday I "hit" several stores!)... Sams (actually, dh did this 1 for me~dogfood & such $27.xx), Homeland & Buy4Less (Where I only spent 63.xx).
& I totally stayed under budget for the next 2 weeks! Including some great deals @ Homeland (used to be Alberton's)... you know those 10/$10's... even canned biscuits for $1 each (unfortunately, I didn't realize that the cashier didn't take off the coupon on the end of the can that said $1 off for 3 cans until after I got home from my day of shopping, ya think I can get that retroactively?). Also, a dzn large eggs (lmt 2) were 99 cents each!
So yeah, I'm stoked! I DID GREAT (at least for me! lol!)

Oh!!! & I forgot to tell you, that buy 4 less & the Daily Oklahoman (newspaper) were doing a promo yesterday (maybe today too for all I know) for getting the newspaper at a good discount... dh & I had been discussing getting it, well, I got the Sunday & the Wed's paper for $4/mo. for the next 6 months. That's more than 1/2 less than you normally pay!
God was truly blessing me all over the place yesterday!!!

Good job! Keep up the good work. :chighfive:
