Groceries:
Shaws: Shaw’s will take the Stop & Shop double dollar coupons and the A&P triple coupons (as long as you have a copy of the ad with dates) so I decided to shop there this week since there were a few things on sale there. And I stayed under budget!!
Here is what I got:
A few of the deals broken down:
Fresh Express Ceaser Salad Mix, $4.69
Used $.75 cpn tripled ($2.25)

They aren’t my favorite store to shop but with the weekly deals lately, I’ve been shopping there more and more.

Thanks for sharing. I am trying to learn more about finding the sales and having the coupons to use when they are on sale.
