FUN Shopping Day!



I'm SO excited! I had a GREAT shopping day at Copps & CVS. As you probably know, today is double coupon day at Copps. Since I've been wanting to take a picture of one of my successful shopping trips, I decided to do it today.

I was watching the screen while items were being scanned. The total before coupons was $103.??. After coupons . . . . $54.15!!!!! YAYYY!! I know it's not .25 or $1, but still a GREAT deal in my book. If I hadn't needed the b-day cards or had the kids w/ me, it would've been only about $43. PLUS, I have $13.99 in ECBs for next time. Woo-hoo!!
