Another Big Trip....Woodmans, Loglis, Target and Kmart... and 4 years worth of dish soap!!!

Well, the last time I posted a big trip was August 25th. I never got to Aldi's, so we had to make do with what we had from that trip. I posted that we would make it 3 weeks...and we made it 3 weeks and 3 days. :) So, today, I went out again. I plan to also go out this coming Wednesday for the Double Deal coupons at Pick N Save. Our stockpile was very low, and we had almost no meat left in the house. I wanted to keep my spending under $200...I spent $180. :) I had to do multiple transactions, but I believe I should be done shopping now for 4 weeks ( except for the Double Days on Wednesday).
