One of my best shopping trips ever!

Friday I received some coupons in the mail. I traded some coke points for $25 worth of coupons. I went shopping Friday night to stock up on a few things for Sat. I bought over $100 worth of groceries for $3.98 including tax. The tax was $3.65 and my total was .33. Some of the items on my receipt were a jumbo box of huggies, huggies wipes, bertolli pasta sauce, bic razors, dole fruit cups, vitamins, quattro trimmers, yogurt, and aspirin. The bag boy and cashier were floored at my total. I am sending the receipts in for a $10 rebate and some dole coupons. Dole is doing a 30 day challenge, where you buy 8 packages of dole, you get 4 free. They were on sale bogo, plus I had some .75 coupons.

I did great at the flea market on Saturday. I made $150 for a few hours of my time. I stayed longer than I had planned because I was having so much fun talking to everyone. When I drove up, I was afraid that I wasn't going to get a spot because there were so many vendors. I was placed next to one vendor that sold antiques, and the other one who sold sheets, and a little bit of everything else. I cannot wait to go back on Sunday.

I went shopping today for a few things that I plan on selling on Sunday. The deals don't look that great this week. I hope I will have enough things to sell, so I can make at least $100. I was really happy at Walgreens tonight because I asked the manager if he could reduce the price of some marvel comic toothbrushes that were on clearance for .74. I asked if he could mark them down to .40-.50, he told the cashier to mark them down to .25 each!! There were 4 in each pack, spiderman, the hulk, etc. I am probably going to use them for the boy goodie bags at their party this year.
