wednesday wrap-up

today was a money saving day! as i mentioned in the last post, i went to harris teeter early early early this morning where i had a not so fun time with a cashier who was less than thrilled to scan all my coupons. after i got home from that trip, i got an email from my sweet friend who said that i could use her harris teeter card for another trip (you can only use 20 coupons/day/harris teeter card). so, back i went. only this time, i went to a different harris teeter. this harris teeter was fantastic. the customer service was outstanding. they tripled every single one of my coupons without any hassle. i even called the manager to tell him how impressed i was with the cashier i had. she rocked.

apparently i take terrible pictures. its partly me (because i am flat out bad at picture taking) and partly my camera (lets face it, it was only $100).

spent: $26
saved: $98

harris teeter totals:
spent: $47
saved: $181

if you are wondering how this all works, go visit southern savers.

i also had to visit publix because they had enfamil on sale. plus, i was able to use three different coupons for it: $5 off manufacturers coupon, $3 off publix coupon, $3 off competitor's coupon. which made the price of the 23 oz. can $11 something. that is a great deal! why am i buying formula??? i am weaning myself off the pump...kelly and i think its best for me to quit now since we will be gone in italy for 9 days away from hunter. if you are wondering why i had to pump and not nurse, its a long story. anyways, it just would not be fun pumping in italy.

my publix totals were nothing to shout about - spent $40 and saved $30. i had to buy a bit of extra things this week because kelly's birthday is saturday and i am making him some special things. normally our grocery budget is $50/week. since i went over this week i won't be spending as much next week and i really don't even need anything for next week; we are well stocked!

i am tired of grocery shopping now. harris teeter keeps calling my name but i am sick of it. i will be taking a vacay from groceries for at least a week!
