I was quite pleased with my shopping this week.  First off, I actually went the first day of the sale and they had everything I had wanted!  Second, there were some great deals on some of the items I need this week for some family parties we have coming up (I am making 3 icecream cake roll cakes tomorrow and I need at least 4 quarts of icecream for those--and yes, they are one of the yummiest cakes, not only because it's a good homemade recipe--completely from scratch--but because I am a good cook)!  Also, I was so pleased to get some blueberries at a good price!  I have been dying to make some homemade blueberry muffins--once again, completely from scratch.  I was also pleased to get some nice toilet paper for a great price!  The newborn diapers were only $5/package (after coupons)--very pleased with that and I think I have enough for the upcoming baby now!  I bought the Luvs at Fresh Market--they were too good of a deal to pass up since I will need them in another month or so.  I just ran in right after going to Smith's and since there is a Fresh Market on my way home from Smith's, it only added about 5 minutes to my shopping trip.  The Rolaids ended up being completely free--I guess I could have waited on the ones I bought last week, but now I am stocked up!

Here are some of the great deals I got:

Breyers icecream:  $1.60 each

Rolaids:  FREE

Spaghettios:  $.39 each

Q-Tips:  $1.20 each

Advil: $1.50 each

Cottonelle Toilet Paper:  $4.49 each (12 double rolls)

Blueberries--2 lbs:  $3.99

Kraft Mayo/Miracle Whip:  $1.69 each

LUVS newborn diapers (38 count):  $4.99
