My Shopping Trip: No Coupons!

Just so you guys don’t think all I buy is toilet paper, pasta (although I did buy another one today) and cereal, I thought I would share the no couponing part of my shopping.  Because I save so much money on everything from health & beauty products to paper good to cereal, pasta, canned goods and more, I then only have to buy my meat, produce and dairy each week.  Plus any other goodies we might like to snatch up for a special recipe, etc.   And, usually after big shopping and organizing weeks like the ShopRite Dollar Days, I’m ready to take a break so as not to fry my brain.

So, here is my trip to the Farmers Market and to Trader Joes.  I spent $40.22 on everything here with the help of the Free $20 Trader Joes Gift Card.  I hope some of you were able to get that Free Gift Card as well.

Here is what I picked up:
