Double Double Trip at Pick N Save...the good, the bad and the ugly!!!

Whew, what an adventure to Pick N Save today.

The good news is that I spent $54.91 on $257.96 worth of groceries! It was 7 transactions (70 double coupons).

The bad new is that there was a man there who HOARDED everything he could. He was a shelf clearer and I noticed him using coupons on items that weren't on the coupon! ( I knew because I had the same coupon and was trying to buy items and he was grabbing other items not on the coupon). This is the ultimate frusteration for me! Please don't shelf clear ( unless there is like 2 on the shelf!) Share this fun with others. Please don't misuse coupons. The manufactures will lower the values and shorten the time frames OR just not print coupons at all!

The ugly news was that there was a SEVERE thunderstorm and in the middle of shopping, we were ushered into the dairy cooler while the storm came through! Cars were damaged, trees went down....it was crazy! We had to drive home around a police stop because a tree fell on a car!

So, now, I have a picture of my first trip, not my second.

Okay, this was not a menu trip, just a stockpile trip.
