Today, I got 14 six-ounce containers of Darigold yogurt for F-R-E-E. Easily my best shopping deal yet. Albertson's had them on for 20 for $10.00, and I had seven coupons good for $1.00 off 2. Another neighbor found out I like the coupons in the free Saturday newspaper, so she has started giving me hers, too. I'll probably say this a million times on this blog: the way to really maximize grocery savings is to use coupons and have multiples.
Last night, I drove 8 miles (round-trip) out of my way so I could get $10 off my grocery order. There is a brand-new Safeway downtown, and I had some coupons that were good only at that store. As I was driving, I wondered if it was really worth it to drive for the extra savings. I figured those 8 miles cost me about $2.10 in gas, so yeah, it was.
