Shopping Day....
Yes, today is grocery shopping day. I've got my lists prepared, checks signed and ready to go, and route carefully planned. I have to go to the bank first, then drug store. Then I will go to store #1, where I will pick up the sale items that are not cold/frozen. Then, it is off to store #2 for the cold items. I have my lists written with the prices next to them, so if I am in store #1, and they have a better price than store #2, I won't pay the extra 5 cents. Of course, after I bring the groceries home, I will go to store #3, which is my usual store and the place where I get my meat and veggies and bread. You know, you always have to have the main store, where you can always count on the quality of products. It's just that they don't always have the best sales, which is why I have incorporated stores #2 and #3 into my routine. It's amazing what you can save when you take the time to shop the sales. Sometimes I save so much, that I can actually re-fill the gas tank after my economical shopping sprees.

OMG! How long does this take you? You are hilarious, you are like the perfect housewife! Did you ever see Pleasantville?
Ok, excuse me for a minute while I pick myself up off the floor over this one. You are completely hysterical. You have a shopping DAY? You have 3 stores you bounce around to in an effort to get the best price? You need your own TV show. My guess is that you have to fill the gas tank up because you're doing so much jumping around from store to store. (I hope you know I'm just kidding--I want to be YOU when I grow up....)
lol to the Pleasantville comment. Boy I am impressed, you are so organized!! Does hubby appreciate all the hard work you do saving him $$ ?? I know mine doesn't.lol....you should get homemaker of the year award!! I also want to be you one day.=)
I love karens comment!
Sherry, I luv you but um...I don't know how you do it. I got tired just reading this. I don't clip coupons..if I did i would forget them..like i forget my lists....nevermind lists with prices. You are too much. I do get paper towels and stuff from target but If I run out and I'm at the grocery store I will pay double just to save me the trip and i'll pick up my stuff there. Oh boy. I hope your husband appreciates you saving his money like that.
I wish I had a nickle for every woman who reads this entry shaking their heads in stunned amazement. I'm with Kara - just the story exhausted me. I've got to do it ONCE and done. With each additional stop I get more and more agitiated. God love you...I hope your family appreciates all you do!!
I don't even bother with coupons anymore never mind shopping the sales! You don't really do all that do you?!!!
