One last trip to the store, I hope

On Sunday we made a trip to Alberstons after picking our son up from his Dad's.  There are Twice the value coupons in the paper this week for Albies (they are good thru Tuesday) which made for some great deals.  As per usual, I got the majority of my deal match-ups from Coupon Connections (I just love her! not that we have met, but she is my coupon lady crush)

All told, I spent $30 for everything pictured, and I did it in 4 transactions.  My little bonus this week?  When I went to the store to pick up more papers (I need to bite the bullet and order more copies delivered to my door)  I stopped by the coffee shop and asked if I could have the coupons from the paper they had out for customers, and so I scored free set of doublers and 2 coupon inserts.  Yeah!

Now hopefully we can not need to go to the store for the next 2 days.
