My Shopping Trip: ShopRite
After so much back and forth this morning regarding what was working for all the layers of Kraft Catalinas, I finalized my shopping list and ran to ShopRite. My out of pocket was so low that the cashier rolled through my transactions thinking she must have done something wrong. And, then, when the catalina machine started spitting out catalinas like a slot machine that hit the jackpot, then she started looking through the coupons she had already processed.
Of course, my favorite part is when they realize that the transaction was legit and I really did save all that money.
*Don’t mind the extra $2 Catalina in the photo. I brought $16 in catalinas to pay for the trip and only used $14. I didn’t realize that I placed the leftover $2 catalina in the photo.
