More shopping pictures!

I promise I won't post shopping pictures every week.....okay, I'll TRY not to post shopping pictures every week. I just love what I can get for my money since I started coupon shopping, and it's hard not to share. I'll spare everyone the elaborate details, but here is what I got today:

5 tubes of Colgate Total toothpaste
2 Aveeno Baby Wash
2 Aveeno Lotion
2 Children's Tylenol
2 Tylenol PM
2 Pond's Moisturizer
4 DayQuil Sinus

4 packages Yoplait smoothies
5 loaves of Harper's Homemade bread
2 Smucker's Uncrustables
2 Corn Chex cereal
1 gallon of milk
4 packages hot dogs
4 Yoplait yogurt 4-packs
2 8th Continent soy milk half gallons
2 boxes Keebler fruit snacks
4 Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
4 French's Mustard
1 box Keebler's Wheatables
1 bunch bananas
2 boxes Ore-Ida Bagel Bites
2 Dreyer's Ice Cream
5 bags Ore-Ida Fries
9 boxes Aunt Jemima Waffles (10 ct.)
2 boxes Red Baron Singles Pizza


Total Retail Value: $249.08

My total out-of-pocket cost after coupons and promotions: $113.52

Pretty good, but not GREAT you may be thinking. Well, when you consider that between Walgreen's and Albertsons (two of the stores I hit) I also received $41 in catalinas....it sweetens the deal! For those of you who don't know, a "catalina" is a coupon that prints after you pay for your shopping order, and it's good toward your next purchase of anything at the store! So basically, if you factor in the catalinas I received, it's as if I will be paying about $72 for $250 worth of groceries! I feel great about my shopping day, and am excited to have stocked up the freezer a bit!
