Extreme Couponing Shopping Trip
Once again, I didn’t really need much at the grocery store except for produce which I had picked up over the weekend at a local farmers market and at Best Market. However, there were a few deals I wanted to take advantage of at ShopRite, especially since my Nestle Pure Life Coupons are expiring on the 9th. I will also be heading to A&P tonight to use up my $10 certificate before it expires tonight. Since there is a Marshalls right next to the A&P, the trick will be to see if I can stay out of Marshalls. I need willpower! 😉
