On our exciting Labor Day, we did some grocery shopping. I saved 38%, or $96.49, shopping sales and using coupons. Some highlights:

Earthbound Farms celery: $0.88, used $1 coupon=FREE plus $0.12 overage

Del Monte ketchup: $0.88-$0.50 coupon=$0.38
Fraceso Rinaldi pasta sauce: $0.97 each

Special K cereal: 4/$12, used two $1/2 coupons, got free gallon of milk with store coupon. We would have bought the milk anyway, so it's like the cereal was 4/$6.80, or $1.70 each

Wacky Mac pasta: $1.29, used buy 1 get 1 free coupon=$0.65 each
Gerber jarred baby food: 2/$1, used $0.75/4 coupon=$0.31 each

Pamida has double coupons this week, so I got these three things for only $1:
Degree was free, Suave was free, Extra was $1 after the double coupons.


Barry also found an electric pump on clearance for $9.99. Great for pumping up air mattresses and pool toys without worrying about stocking batteries.
