Did you notice that?? We didn’t have a Shopping Spree last week!!
You can take a week off once you’ve developed a nice stock pile from saving money with coupons. And, have you noticed, Grandma Juice DOSE NOT do ‘Extreme Shopping”. We shop realistically. It would be very easy to walk out of Target and pay $2.37. But I’d be stuck with a ton of mustard (*wink) and toothpaste to feed the fam for the next 3 months. We buy these items we need/use/want everyday. Yes, we buy more when it’s on sale AND have coupons and pile it away within reason for weeks like last week. I broke a rib. Can’t shop. Hurt Grandma <collective awwww inserted here> Well, you can but shouldn’t. So, here this weeks totals. Slightly more than I’d normally spend AND I skipped CVS (I think Grandpa Juice thought I was delirious when I said “skip it”). Next week, watch out Ms. Cashier at CVS – Grandma has gift cards from Swagbucks!! Anywooha… on to the show

All in all, not a bad shopping spree!! The dog food kills our percentage every time. We have a service dog since I’m disabled. He can only eat 2 different brands of food, ARP @ $20.00 a bag and neither of course is ever really on sale. We did get a $3.00 coupon this week, which is huge compared to none at all! AND!!! Even though it was CLEARLY advertised on the weekly ad we received, STILL NO WOLFGANG PUCK COFFEE!! My FREE coupons are going to expire! I NEED to find this stuff!!
So… how did you all make out on your weekly shopping spree? Find any great deals? Let us know! We’d love to see a picture of your great shopping spree!
