Shopping Trip 5/16 and 5/17

I went to Albertson's last night and did three transactions of double coupons and then today, I went to Albertson's again for another set of transactions, to Safeway to take advantage of the cheap Off Clip Ons and the Reach catalina offer, and then my weekly run to Rite Aid.  I ended up spending a little more than I had hoped for because there were a couple of things that were not the price I had read they were on blogs.  But, I still think I did okay for my weekly grocery/tioletries/household run.  I ended up spending $65.51 but saved $196.25, and coupons were $108.73 of that!!!  I just love seeing pieces of paper transformed into "money." :)
