I did my shopping this morning and thought I'd share a few of my favorite deals.

Then I ran to Target to pick up some more Zantac, Nivea and Lysol:

Total before coupons: 21.26
                                  -14.39 in coupons and markdown
                                     6.87 + 1.25 tax=8.12
                       
I did the bulk of my shopping at Meijer, and saved about 40%.  But that's pretty good considering I bought 2 cases of pop, alot of non-grocery items like Ziploc baggies and Glad trash bags and also a lot of produce and deli. So 40% isn't too bad in my book.  Unlike what you see on t.v., my family cannot survive on 70 bottles of mustard and 100 boxes of cereal ...we have to buy real food around here :)      

There are some decent deals to be had out there this week...I'll keep my eyes open for more!
