Food Lion SCORE!!

Look what I scored at Food Lion today for $35.59!!

Now I am telling you what... it pays to stockpile shop. WHAT...STOCKPILE SHOP? I am talking about ONLY pickin' up what is on sale. I do this about ever other each week at Food Lion and sometimes Bi-Lo (my 2 closest grocery stores). More or less depending on the sales. I also shop at CVS - DUH! By shopping like this, I only have to do a big haul every few months (I went shopping at Kroger a week ago and that was the last time I went since FEBRUARY! WOOT WOOT!). What I mean by haul is that I pick up what isn't necessarily on sale to help round out what is in the pantry and the freezer to make a complete, healthful meal. Usually on these trips I still don't spend very much - thanks to my fully stocked pantry and freezer!

This week was an incredible week at Food Lion so I picked up more than I usually do.

What did I get?

2 Pepperidge Farm cakes
1 (6 pk) Hershey bars
2 Jet puffed marshmallows
1 box HoneyMaid Graham Crackers
1 Eskimo Pie ice cream novelty
2 Quaker Simple Harvest Granola Bars (clearanced to $1.38 and I had $1.00 coups!)
1 Tuna Helper
2 Hamburger Helpers
1 Kraft Singles Cheese
1 Food Lion Wipes
2 Minute Maid (2 qt. each)
1 A1 Marinade
1 Gallon of 2% milk
2 Kraft Salad Dressings
6 lbs Hamburger meat
2 packets of Hidden Valley Ranch Buttermilk Ranch

Cost: $35.59
My MVP savings: $26.73
My coupon savings: $42.64!
Total SAVINGS: $69.37

Can you BELIEVE that!?! I would never pay $100+ for those groceries but that is what it would have cost me if I would have just walked in without my coups and MVP (store) card! It really pays to shop the sales with your coups folks!
