It’s the end of another week and here is a review of what we spent this week at the Grocery Store and the Drug Stores.
Groceries:
Stop & Shop – I found the Green Solo 30 pack marked down to $2.00 and I had $.75 coupons and doubled to $1.50 so I only paid $.50 each. I grabbed 5 packs and I got 150 cups for $2.50! I love when I find a deal like that.
