I do not purchase items I do not use unless I know someone who can use an item I can purchase for free.

Please bear in mind that I still need to purchase nighttime diapers/pull-ups for my children who still need them, and I don't think anywhere can beat the Wal-Mart generic price this week.  And I will run by Kroger one more time to purchase 4 gallons of milk and pick up any markdowns at some point this week.

Grocery Savings

Sales trip to Publix:
Before coupons/sales: $34.52
Total out of pocket: $9.50

We've been "snowed in"... sort of, and I haven't been to the store since Sunday.  I went by CVS on the way home from church, but both of our local stores were out of what I wanted to purchase.  If I can get out before the weekly sale is over, I will check again.
