Today's Shopping Trip


Today I went out with My husband and shopped Walgreens, Harris Teeter, and Bi-Lo... We racked up on some deals! We saved a lot on our products of choice in which I will be donating a LOT of it to a local Church, First Baptist Church in East Flat Rock NC.... The First Baptist Church is where I hold the Coupon Classes, so I spoke with them and they decided instead of a Money donation they would like help with Manna Food Bank. So Today's Venture was VERY Fun knowing where it was going!  Below is some pictures of our Trip!





                             
                               Harris Teeter Trip: Retail Value: 154.22  OOP $32.26  73% Saved
