Yes, I even did some "grocerysmart" shopping on my family vacation!!

I was down in St. George and there was a great sale on several things.  I didn't want to take away from the vacation, so I wasn't sure I would go to the grocery store.  But then we needed some bread and milk--and since I was there and had planned on the possibility of getting some "non-perishables" that we could pack in the car and use later, I went ahead.  If I hadn't bought the toilet paper, ketchup and frosted flakes (My husband's all time favorite cereal--was great for Father's day--ha ha!)--I would have spent only $6 for the bread and milk--this means that 36 rolls of toilet paper, five boxes of frosted flakes, and 5 bottles of Hunts ketchup only cost me just over $21 and we were low on toilet paper and I had planned to stop at Costco after our trip and just get an 36 pack there--which is $18 just for that!  I was pretty excited and so was Jon when he saw the Frosted Flakes!
