I LOVE a good Quaker Sale!

Okay, I know you are probably sick of hearing from me this week.  I don't know what has happened, but I just can't stop posting.  So please feel free to skip this if you don't care.  But I just had to share.
I've been waiting and wondering when it was going to happen and it finally did! Albertson's has a Quaker sale this week!  It was the only thing that got me out of bed on time this morning.  I was ready to drop after working a booth at the Taste of Home Cooking School for two days. But Mark and Jessica had spent the time the night before matching my coupons to the ad for me so I could not disappoint them.



I know, I've turned into true geek when I have to organize and take a picture before I put my goodies away.  This is what I came home with all for just $49.65 and please note there is a $10 jug of EVOO in there.  I saved $163.80 over regular retail.  Who can pass up granola bars at 40 cents a box.  And I had run out of Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies several months ago.  I came home and immediately opened a box and enjoyed.  These puppies fill you up and are enjoyable.  The best purchase was the boxes of Electrasol Power Tabs for just 9 cents a box.  20 loads of dishes for only 9 cents, you can't beat it.  This time last year the Quaker sale was much better, I think I paid 25 cents for granola bars, but I'm so excited to get stocked up with food my kids will eat.

I have to give all the credit and thanks from my couponing craziness to Amy over at The Savvy Shopper.  She opened my eyes to coupons and how to use them effectively.  Thank You!!!

I have to agree with Becca....when;s the lesson? I always see these coupons (hahah like a bazillion) and I seriously look at them and don't know what to do with them.

I thought I was a good coupon shopper, but you put me to shame!!!! Sounds like we need an enrichment activity taught by you. I love the feeling of saving more than I spent.

Omagosh! That's a lot of food sister. So I just got on my friend Cara's blog and there you were! How do you know her? That is so funny. Small world.
