Super-Successful Monday-Night Shopping Adventure

I went out and made what felt like a bazillion stops - it took me about 2-1/2 hours.  I came home feeling great that I had stocked up on a few items that we use all the time and used up my coupons expiring at the end of the year...I saved alot!  My husband wasn't so impressed..."How much money could you have saved if you didn't buy any of that stuff?" he asks.  What he doesn't realize is that we are going to buy it anyway, so why not use the soupons, stock up, and not have to pay full price later?  Sometimes I think he doesn't get it - is it a guy thing?  Tell me what YOU think....

First stop, Rite-Aid.  I went in to get my 2 Reese's Christmas Trees for FREE.  Great stocking stuffers!
