Steals and Deals

So I am still pretty sick, probably will be for a while. However, I mustered all I had yesterday and made my way to Albertsons for some deals. I know, I have no life and I'm a nerd. I had to though ha. They've been having such good deals lately that I'm afraid they will 'dry up' as you would say for a while. Who knows though, but just in case! ;) Anyway they were having doublers. I should mention that some deals may be confusing because on the b1g1 free sales, you can use a coupon on the free item. You can also use a b1g1 free coupon if the item is on a b1g1 free sale (making them both free). After the last few weeks of both doublers and round ups. Needless to say I am couponed out. I kind of hope they don't have anything going on soon. Bare with me by the way because this will be a long one! I also will post deals from Safeway and Rite Aid. Since it's all broken up, I'll tell you right now that I saved 87% overall. It should have all been worth $247 and I paid a total of $32!

The one thing I liked the most was this older lady who came up to me and congratulated me on my well done. She saw my binder and stopped to talk to me for a second. She just said I was doing a good job and that it must be time consuming, but well worth it. All I could do was agree haha. It's good to know there are people out there who don't give you dirty looks and think you're crazy. Can't judge a book by it's cover. I'm not like most 'couponers' out there!
