Sammies

[mortonfox]

I hadn't been going grocery shopping much in December. Of course, I wasn't home much either but the pantry still tends to run out of food over time. So triple-coupon week at the A&P came just in time! I wasn't really trying for deep discounts this time. I just picked out the likely coupons. It happened that most of the items I wanted were on sale, so I got $54.25 of groceries for $16.16. I could've gotten a lot more but I'll save some of the shopping for tomorrow or the day after.

I also had a coupon for Quiznos sammies, so I went to the Ramsey Quiznos and got the Alpine Chicken Sammie. A "sammie" is a mini flatbread sandwich. I think it tastes good but the portion size is too small for the price. It's worth trying once with a coupon but I don't think I would get it otherwise.

So, lemme get this straight: You get your food for the week (month?) for 70% off when you're "not really trying". I'd be scared to see how you do when you are trying! :-) They'd probably have to pay you at the checkout! :-)

Some of it was by happenstance. If I happen to have coupons that match up with items that are on sale this week and if the coupons are tripled, the combined discount can be substantial. It's funny that I'm so into the grocery game now because we didn't have very many coupons back in the old country. I think my parents would enjoy triple coupons too because they're of the same mindset.
