My Shopping Trip: Stop & Shop

The one thing I am still learning living at our new house is where all the stores are.  It takes me a while to plan my trips because I always piggy back stores onto my normal errands.  I pretty much have the whole Rt 35 in Middletown, Holmdel, Hazlet down but when I venture off into other areas, as I did yesterday morning, I have to google stores on maps to see what is around or along the route I will be traveling.

Yesterday there was a Stop & Shop close by a store I had to stop in over in Manalapan, so I hopped in the take advantage of this week’s Milk Catalina Deal and pick up some free Mrs. Pauls Frozen Fish.

Not too bad for a quick run 🙂

Here is what I did:

Stop & Shop Transaction:

  • 3 Fiber One Nutty Clusters & Almonds $2.99 each
  • 4 Mrs. Pauls Parchment Bake Tilapia $5.99 each (Buy One Get One Free)

Coupons Used:

Paid: $1.47
Received: Free Milk Catalina (up to $3.75)

Total Savings including sale prices and coupons: $33.56 which I will be adding to the LRWC Reader’s Grocery Savings Counter.  Be sure to add your savings so we can see how much we have all saved in 2012
