Weekly Shopping Trip

Harris Teeter Triples

Harris Teeter has not done triple coupons in over a year, so you can imagine how excited I was when I saw this was coming up!! This is similar to Super Doubles, but they will only triple coupons up to $0.99 face value, so if you have a $0.75 coupon, they will triple it to $2.25! This makes for some very nice deals and lots of freebies! I made three different trips this week and got some really good deals.

Total before savings $172.36
Total spent $32.31
Total saved $140.32

Here's what I got:
-5 bags Kruncher's chips
-3 (37.5yd) Reynold's foil
-2 boxes Uncle Ben's rice
-1 pouch Uncle Ben's rice (free)
-4 bottles Kikkoman soy sauce

So much to tell....

I have not blogged for almost two months now! Part of it has just been laziness, but mostly, we have just been extremely busy!! Since April, I have been out of town twice and have only had two weekends that we have not had something planned! I am planning on being much better about it, although, we still have a lot going on until the end of June. Since I have so much to tell, I'm just going to do a quick sum up!

-April 9-10, Bachelorette party for my friend Kari, and Cary turned 30!! We went out to eat and spent the day together.
 -April 16, two of my good friends, Tyler and Kari, got married!! I had the wonderful privilege of being a bridesmaid in their wedding! It was a crazy, yet amazing day and we had such a blast!

-April 17-23, we went to Rochester, NY to see my brother and sister-in-law and their new baby girl.
-May 7-8, my mom and step-dad came in for Mother's Day. I have not spent Mother's day with my mom since college, so this was an extra special weekend. Cary and Connor got me diamond earrings as well!
-May 12-16, I went to Jackson for a wedding shower for Kurt (Cary's younger brother) and Amanda. Because of papers and exams, Cary did not get to go with me.  I was able to leave Connor with my mom in Gatlinburg on my way, so I got a couple of days all to myself! It was hard, but much needed for Cary and myself.

I am still losing weight, although, not as quickly as I was, mostly because I have not been walking. I want to do the C25K plan, but I need to get a jogging stroller first. Meal planning has suffered slightly, but I am still doing it and couponing.

I think I am finally caught up for now.
