All & all this shopping trip was successful.  I ended up with 9 lbs. of butter!  The great thing about stocking up on butter is that it freezes great.  I don't have to worry about using it before it goes bad.  The only thing I didn't score was Sun Drop pop(soda for you non Pittsburghers).  It's $1 each wyb 5.  There are $1/1 coupons for it, making it free.  The shelf was cleaned out!  That's ok.  Hubster doesn't really need anymore pop.  I'm satisfied with the 54% savings today!

So there's your first peek into how grocery shopping in my world works.  Please post any questions or comment you have.
