An Early Saturday

Beep Beep Beep... went our alarm this morning at 7am. Why, you ask, would we possibly be getting up that early on a Saturday? Well let me back track to Tuesday when I received an email from our local Food Lion that it was closing, and that the sales started the next day. So when I went on Wednesday everything in the store was 30% off. Not that great of a deal since I'm into sales and couponing and can normally get a better deal. So when I was checking out with my small purchase the cashier told me that on Saturday they were marking everything down to 60% off! Ok, that's more my style! And hubby was fully on board. He even suggested going on Friday night to see if there was anything left and stake out what we wanted.

So this morning, despite the early hour and the below freezing temperatures, we popped out of bed to go score some deals. When we arrived 10 minutes before the store opened, (there wasn't even time for coffee!!) there was already a line of 50 people or so. We had a game plan and everything. We each got a cart and split up. It was so much fun to have hubby there with me. Good thing we both enjoy saving money so we had a fun time together. We were even out of the store in 30 minutes! Are you anxious to see what we got?

First let me give you the amazing figures on this. We spent almost an entire month's grocery budget on this but as a result we will have lower grocery bills for the next few months!

Total before discounts and coupons:$ 299.06
Total out of pocket: $120.06 (A 67% Savings)

Oh so fun saving money!
