Yup... that's right. All for $28.22. What would it normally have cost me? $252.99. Now you want to know how I got all this? Sheer luck. Seriously. The Albertson's by work is closing its doors and re-opening like 2 miles away and the owners decided that it'd be cheaper to mark down all of their inventory drastically instead of shipping the new food to the new store. Madness!
And I saw some awesome deals in other people's carts too. If I had more energy (and knew how cheap everything really was) the first time I went around (yes, I went through the store TWICE after buying about $10 worth of stuff and realizing how marked down everything was) I might have gotten better deals. Like the girl ahead of me the first time who bought like 20 bottles of tequila, 5 bottles of rum and some vodka (along with other food items) and her bill was $150. Or the guy ahead of me the second time who got a whole ham for $4. The deli was just handing hams out instead of slicing because it really wasn't worth it to slice the whole darn thing! And his jumbo watermelon? $0.50. Darn the fact that I'm pregnant and couldn't hold all that stuff!
I just wish I would have got off work an hour earlier. Than I might have been able to snag the $0.09 a dozen eggs! And yes, I do plan on using all of this stuff. I'm sure I can get quite creative. Plus I have a party to attend this weekend that I'll be baking/cooking for. I see some really yummy breakfast dishes out of that challah bread!
By the way... they didn't have croissants. I changed up my dinner plans.

WOAH!! That's a lot of food. I was really stumped as to how on earth you got it all, but the store closing makes sense! Good for you!

That is amazing!!!
At first reading I thought "How long did it take you to COUPON all that stuff?" The store must have been very crowded....don't see deals like that everyday!
