So I went back for more. . .

All I can say is that I LOVE Smith's and grocerysmarts!  I can't believe what I get and how differently I shop now than I used to.  It is just so SWEET!  Anyway, I got 8 more cases of water ($1.54 each) and 20 more boxes of pasta for free, bags of Hersheys candy for Easter, some cheese, and then some Protein drink powder that I use after a long run (my husband and I are training for a race).  I am so pleased!  Anyway, hope you are all getting grocerysmarts figured out.  Remember it will take a few times before you really get it down!  It's okay to make mistakes and after a while you will be so pleased with how well you are doing your grocery shopping!!

Hope you have checked out the Smith's sale this week!

I often do my shopping on Mondays and I am sorry about that because most sales end on Tuesday.  So, I know the sale ends tomorrow, though I wouldn't be surprised if they extend the sale or part of it for another week-they often do that when they do these buy 10 items, get $5 off.  Anyway, there are several GREAT things!  

I got 30 boxes of Rotini pasta for FREE!!  I also got 8 cases of the Nestle water for $1.54/case!  Now with the Nestle water, there is a catalina.  So get 4 cases then get 6 other items that are part of the "buy 10, get $5 off" sale.  Then you will receive a $5 catalina for buying the Nestle water as well--making it $1.54/case (including the catalina)!!!  Pretty awesome!!  I am going to go back tomorrow and get 8 more cases of water!  The Kelloggs cereal is also pretty sweet as well!  Buy 4 for $10 and get 2 free gallons of milk (essentially taking $1 off each box of cereal since the milk is $2/gallon), plus there is a coupon--making it about $2/box before calculating in the milk.  There are 2 coupons from the paper--one is $1/2 and the other is $1/3.  You can get up to 8 boxes per transaction, and 4 gallons of milk is what we drink in a week.  So use 2 of the $1/3 and 1 of the $1/2 equaling 8 boxes.  Or if you take 4 papers, you will have 4 of the $1/2.  

I also did great at Walgreens last week!  I spent $4 and got $4 back in Register Rewards!  It was awesome!  I got 2 Irish Spring body washes, 10 jellos, a bag of potting soil, 2 Dial Hand soaps, and nylons.

Keep up the great shopping and remember to always check grocerysmarts before you want to go get some fast food or go to a restaurant.  Under the "alphabetical coupon index" on the home page (center of page, small font above "choose your store" option--under Restaurants in that index you will find any coupons available for any fast food or restaurant!  Pretty sweet!  I also use this when I have to buy something not on sale and I want to know if there is a coupon for it.

I hope you are getting along with shopping the grocerysmarts way!  Remember it takes some time to get it down, but it is SO SO worth it!!  I have started doing Bountiful Baskets and so now all I buy is my staple items to stock up on that are 4 or 5 stars, milk, eggs, and bread.  I get all my fresh produce from Bountiful Baskets and everything else with coupons using grocerysmarts!  It is awesome!

Have a good one and if you want to host a class, I would be happy to teach one for you!
