Doublers shopping

I just sat down and figured out my savings from my 3 hours shopping trip and I was so excited and exhausted! I calculated using the sale prices not the regular store price because I probably would have bought it anyway if it was one sale. Before coupons I would have spent $108.62 with coupons I spent $27.73 and walked away with a $3.00 catalina. I'm not going to post a picture of everything I got because that is not the point of this post. My point is that I worked hard to save our family money and that if you average out the savings of $80.89 than I made $26.96 and hour. That is a darn good wage for a part time job don't you think. Have you ever figured out what you make an hours?

Albertson's Kraft promotion

I was at Albie's last night and noticed that they had quite a few of the Kraft Cheese 8oz blocks with a $2.00 Manger Special sticker on them and the price was $3.49 so I thought hmmm.... if I wait until tomorrow then they will be $2.49 and I could pick them up for only .49 each. Well I went early this morning and they were marked as part of the Kraft promo so this is what I did.
