Shaws Trip

Jamie, my boyfriend (who says he doesnt want anything to do with couponing, but really gets into it when we go) and I took a trip to Shaw's after work today. We didn't plan it out, but had looked at the flyer so we had a good idea of what we wanted. We set a budget of $50. We ended up getting way more than we thought we would be able to (we did go over budget by a little, but it was still with-in the over-budget, budget LOL). I still get a little anxious when we go. We have always been generic buyers. So, to go shopping and load the cart with name-brand items is very stressful to me. It all seems to work out in the end, so far anyway!!!

  2. I alway's wonder with the coupons if you are really getting what you need or just a bunch of extra tissues. toothpaste, deoderants and stuff like that, that will sit around for awhile...I havn't figured it all out yet. But looks like you did well!
