Shoppers Trip

My husband has been wonderful due to my back issues. As I've mentioned, he hates grocery shopping, especially when there's lots of people which is very usual on Sundays. Either way, we devised a plan where he would be able to help me but not set foot in the store. He dropped me off, I called when I got to the line, and he picked me up and helped me carry all the heavy stuff from cart to car and from car to apartment. He's wonderful.

Anyway, as I mentioned previously, usually I get a much high percent off for my shopping trips, today I was at 50%. This was primarily due to buying some things that I didn't have coupons for but that we needed. Still not bad considering I bought quite a few items.

I bought:

$2.79 Juicy Juice apple juice (the new kind in the green cardboard boxes) ($.79 after doubled coupon)
