Coupons.....isn't it the thing now-a-days.

So today I went shopping at Albertsons and tried getting stuff for our food storage. I spent all morning getting my list and coupons ready. After carefully getting my list perfect I headed to the store. I carefully placed my items in the basket so that I could put those on the table that needed to be first first. As I was putting out the cereal I realized they had to be rung up seperately in groups of 4 or 5 to get the extra coupons I needed. This started causing stress as people were lining up behind me. I started getting confused as to what order I need the items on the turn table. The cashier started with my first order and proceeded to tell me that I could only do 3 orders at a time or I had to go get in line again. I said that's ok. She gets to my juice and I had more coupons than juice so I started getting confused again because I knew I counted everything correctly. 4 plus 4 plus 2 ....oh no that's 10 not 8....what did I do. I had now threw the hole sequence off of my items. Panic is setting in...the cashier is looking at me and then looking at the line behind me....the line is getting longer and longer and I am wondering if I dare tell her I need 2 more bottles of juice. I end up just going without the 2 more bottles and think I should have just said it. Oh well. I still got a lot of groceries for a good price. Here is what I bought today. I spent just under $100.



Like Mother like Daughter.....has her coupons all laid out.

Did you feel like you had your own personal rain cloud over your head?
That is a lot of stuff.
