My Albertson's shopping trip!

I am so excited!  I just went to Albertson's and spent $6.68 out of my own pocket.  I also walked out with a $4.00 catalina. (free Albertsons cash)  Here's what I bought - 30 boxes of post cereal, 1 package Oscar Meyer Turkey Bacon, 1 package of Red Vines, 1 Wilton easter bunny cookie cutter, and 1 box of Oreo Cakesters (peanut butter).


I was able to do this because of a fabulous blog I follow.  These women who run this blog have saved our family hundreds of dollars!  They will do the same for your family!  Check them out!  Fabulessly Frugal  They posted about a week ago that this post cereal sale was coming.  As soon as I saw this post, I headed to ebay to buy some coupons.  I know that sounds silly, to pay for coupons - but it was well worth it for this sale!!!  I spent $2 on 20 coupons ($1 off of 2 boxes).  They also posted that with the purchase of 5 boxes of Post cereal, you would get a $4 catalina. (Catalinas are basically free Albertsons money.  You can use them on your next purchase, for whatever you want!)  Here is what my transactions looked like:
