My Shopping Trip

Last night my couponing partner (Mr. LRWC) and I went out to grab a bite to eat and then did some shopping.  We looped around to a few stores to do some cherry picking.  A little here, a little there.  I wanted to use my $10 Catalina at Pathmark  and they had a great price on the Martin’s Whole Wheat Potato Bread which is a favorite in this house.

I decided, since I was picking up a bunch of the Martin’s Bread which there are never any coupons for,  that I wanted to try and use one of the $5 off $50 Pathmark Coupons that I have so I went through all my free coupons to try to get my price up to the $50 mark.

I was pretty happy with my trips.  I saved 72% which is great considering I bought over 16 lbs of chicken!
