I great shopping trip!!

I don't normally post something like this, but I saved so much compared to what I spent, that I felt I needed to!!!  I spend quite a bit of time clipping coupons from the Sunday paper, magazines and online.  I have them very well organized in a pink coupon holder.  I have a second holder that's white that is for each individual store and their coupons.  Price chopper and Target allow you to use a store coupon in conjunction with manufacturer's coupons!  This often allows me to purchase items for less than $1 or even FREE!!  

Here's the rundown from this past week's shopping trip to Price Chopper:

(I don't have my receipt on hand, but most of these are accurate.)
