We went to Mom and Dad’s for lunch today after church. Yay! Free food I don’t have to cook!
After lunch, Mom made the startling discovery that Lowe’s Food was having a triple coupon sale, Today, Monday and Tuesday only.
I say startling because we seem to always get a heads up before triple coupon sale which gives us time to prepare our coupons and strategies. :)
So thus began our frenzy of clipping and pulling out the Q’s we needed to use and still be done in time to make it to church tonight.
Lowes was abuzz with savvy shoppers. Many of whom were clutching their coupons, and some were even toting big binders like ours!
Stepping in the door left behind all sanity, and we began going bananas in our rush down the aisles for the good stuff. :)
Lowes often is out of items within the first few hours of a triple coupon sale, so quickness is a priority. I think I remembered to say excuse me, though…
It was great fun, however, stuffing things in the cart with the satisfactory realization that you have “beat the system” and are only paying pennies for everything.
I didn’t get to figure my savings until after we got home from church tonight…
Here they are…
Drum roll please….
My total went from $69.49 to…. $4.18! Whoo-hoo!
(disgusted face) UGH! You make me sick.
The fact that we do not have options like this just sickens me now.
Congrats to you on your savings!! -Really.
I think I’m just still in shock as to what you paid for all of that “stuff”!! Unbelievable.
I feel as Ellen does. I’m so envious of your triple coupon stores! Our one grocery store doesn’t even double – EVER! Not only is it frigidly cold here, we have to pay more for groceries and gas, too!
UGH.
