Great Shoprite run!

I had an awesome shopping trip at Shoprite tonight! I had been trying to get to Shoprite all week but alas, the fates were against me. Tonight was my last chance before some of my coupons expired so I had to go out despite the hour. It was well worth it! Thanks to Mom and her coupon buddies for telling me how to go out about and get the best deal with the Buy X and Get $ deal this week.

1st Transaction
4 rolls of Viva paper towels (These are awesome! Almost clothlike!)

I felt like I was stealing from Shoprite! Of course, I know I wasn't. I just used my coupons wisely. I walked out with a shopping cart full of stuff for $2.01! I was on such a shopping high!

Luigi's anyone?

I had the most amazing grocery shopping trip at Shoprite Saturday night. It was raining and late but I just had to go. I already bought my coupons through The Coupon Master and I was ready to get my deals.

I bought:
12 Luigi ices (yes, 12 boxes and with 6 in each box, we are proud owners of 72 cups of Italian ice!)
14 boxes of Ronzoni pasta
4 Chips Ahoy
8 boxes of Zip Loc bags
5 boxes of Hefty One Zip bags
1 gallon of 2% milk
2 lb bag of carrots
1 lb bag of baby carrots
1 pineapple
1 red pepper
2 yams
2 mangos
1 red onion
2 pints of blueberries
2 bunches of bananas
1 Heluva Colby Jack cheese
2 packages of pizza dough
1 Fleischmann's margarine
1 SR butter
2 SR shredded cheese
3 cans of SR creamed corn
2 cans of Cento tomato paste
3 bags of Quaker Oats soy chips
3 bags of Pepperidge Farm goldfish
1 Arnold's bread
4 lbs of banana
4 Silk Soy yogurt
1 Kashi Waffle
1 VO5 shampoo
1 Earthwise reusuable totebag
1 lb deli turkey breast
1/2 lb Alpine Lace muenster cheese
1/2 lb Thumann's bologna

The original total was $152.30

The total after my Shoprite Price Plus card was $125.12

The total after the canvas bag refund was $124.67. It's $.05 per bag.

And then after coupons, my grand total was $83.68! Yes, $68.62 came off the bill after the Price Plus card and coupons. I saved 45%! Woohoo! Okay, maybe I should add in the cost of my purchase of the coupons. So I only saved 44%. Ooooh...

The Kashi Waffles were free.
The VO5 shampoo was free.
The Earthwise reusable bag was free.
The Alpine Lace cheese was free.
And they paid me, yes paid me, to take the Luigi Italian ice. With an overage of $.17 per box, SR paid me $2.04 to take 12 boxes of Italian ice. And now I am the best mommy and wife in the world. hehehe
