Smith's AWESOME Coupon Sale!!

Smith's had a "3-day coupon event" where all coupons for less than $1 automatically go through as $1.00!!!  They had a GREAT P&G promotion as well, and I even got several things free!

Total Spent:  $185.42

Bought:  110 Items 
This means the average cost was $1.69 per item--the only item that would not be around that price or more normally (except maybe at a gas station) would be the cans of tuna-fish.  All of the other items would generally be more than that and many of the items would be TONS more than that--I LOVE IT!!

Total Saved:  $205.56

I was really pleased as I put things away and had to really make room to fit it all in cupboards and food storage!  I have been working on trying to get stocked up on things well--aiming for that 1-year supply and trying to get ready for the baby. As I put things away, I realized that I have 1-year supply of soap, toothpaste, dish-soap, toothbrushes, floss, shampoo/conditioner--pretty much the bathroom needs.  I don't have a full year of toilet paper--I am not sure how much we actually use each month--but we have quite a bit--probably at least 4 months worth.  We also have at least 6 months worth of laundry detergent and 1 year of other laundry and cleaning supplies (bleach, fabric softener, stain removals, fabric sheets, pine-sol, toilet bowl cleaners, etc.)!  The best part about it all is that I haven't had to spend anything extra to get all of it!!  In-fact I spend half of what I used to on my groceries and household supplies--yet I get so much more!  That is why I LOVE grocerysmarts!!  Thank you grocerysmarts!
