New Blog Name & Pick N Save trip 6/25

I've been going back and forth lately as to if I like my blog title/name. I decided I really didn't but wasn't sure what to change it to. When I posted my last blog and linked it to Facebook a friend of mine, Denise, referred to me as 'Mrs. Saves-A-Lot'. Brilliant!! I loved the name and have been saying it over and over in my head since she posted that comment. So today I've decided to take the plunge and changed my blog title to...Mrs. Saves-A-Lot! Thanks Denise!!

Now for what you REALLY wanted to hear about - my 3am (YES, 3am) shopping trip to Pick N Save. David had to work this morning at 4:15am and taking 5 kids to PNS on double coupon days is NOT a wise choice. Waiting till he gets home wasn't an option because the shelves are always cleared of the GOOD stuff by Noon.
You can see my detailed shopping trip with the break down of coupons here - the only change I had to make was they were already out of the Magnum Ice Cream Bars :( Luck me I had one extra coupon on me for $0.75 off Sargento Cheese Slices found here. These retail for $2.99 and were on sale for $2.79 and then the $0.75 coupon doubled making them $1.29! Oh and I almost forgot when I posted my original trip I was 2 coupons shy on my 2nd transaction and I found (2) $1/1 Shout printable coupons I had lying around. Shout retails for $2.67/each used $1 coupons that doubled making them $0.67/each!

Here's what I walked away....



Retail Price: $78.43
Sale Price: $52.47

After coupons I paid $17.97 out of pocket for a total savings of 77% !!!
