I
got $125.03 worth of groceries at
Shaw's
and Hannaford for just $5.97!
I saved 95%
Most of what you see in the photo was purchased at Shaw's. The only things I got at Hannaford were sugar and cream (for my mother, to go with the fresh berries!), a can of beets and one lonely tomato. I paid only 29¢ for those four items. Everything else was purchased at Shaw's in separate transactions so I could use various $5 off and $2 off that I got from Shaw's email referrals. The rest of the savings was all from coupons. I also planned it so I could take advantage of two special deals that were going on so I saved an additional $12 on the cereal ($6/4 boxes and I did it twice) and also another deal where you buy a certain 10 items and get $5 off (I did that twice too!). I had coupons for everything and most of the coupons doubled. It was a lot of planning, but it was fun and it was worth it!!! One of my transactions came out to exactly ZERO! What fun!
I got the following: 24 boxes of Suddenly Salad
Oh, I forgot the diet coke!!! I picked up a diet coke for just 4¢ using a $1.00/1 coke coupon. I drank it, which is why it's not in the picture. And no, I did not add rum.

Pasta salad, anyone?
