Albertson's shopping trip!!!

So I had a great shopping trip to Albertson's today. I spent $21, but I saved $70! Woo Hoo!!!
This is what I got for $21...

Captain Crunch, 1 box ($1.49)
Life Cereal, 1 box ($1.49)
Quaker Oatmeal pancake mix, 2 boxes (free)
Angel Soft TP 12 regular rolls, 2 packages ($1.33 each)
Crystal Light Canister, 1 package ($0.33)
Dibs ice cream treats, 2 boxes ($1.50 each)
Nestle Choco Chip Cookie dough, 2 packages ($1.00 each)
Oscar Mayer hot dogs, 6 packages ($0.50 each)
Quaker Granola Bars, 4 boxes ($0.75 each)
2 gallons of milk ($1.99 each)

I'm liking this coupon clipping stuff. It's actually kind of fun. I would have saved even more, but I was too slow getting there and the Edge shave gel, Skintimate shave gel, and Bayer aspirin I wanted were sold out... they all would have been free. I'm learning though... got to get there on the first day of the ad if I can! I'm also trying to be conservative and make sure I'm just getting stuff we can use before it expires... trying not to overdo it. And I can't wait to get a freezer in the garage so I can start taking advantage of items I can freeze and frozen foods. The hot dogs I bought today took up almost all the free space in my little freezer.

Sweet job!! With the shaving gels can you get a raincheck and still get the savings?..I don't remember...I HATE going the first day, the stores down here are NUTSO ...so now I go super early on friday or tues. The trucks come on thurs night and monday night and are generally stocked that night.

So, what are you doing? Do you get the newspaper, or do you get your coupons online? I want to know how to shop like you.

Way to go Shannon! I am attending a coupon class tonight that is supposed to teach the basics and then maybe I can be as good as you! It is so overwhelming! Liked the song idea in the other post...fun!
