Savings at Schnucks Today!! 2-11-11

Well, I am usually cautious about taking my husband and kids shopping with me, as I usually end up spending more than I want to, this trip was no exception, but we still did really well, considering! HAHA. Going into this trip, I was aware that I would get an additional $5 back if I spent $20 or more on Progresso Soups, Fiber ONe Bars, and Cheerios, so I found all the proper coupons, and I went for it! It turned out pretty well! Of course, I got the whole.. "Why do we need 4 boxes of cereal?" question, lol, and when I answered with, "It makes it cheaper!" I got a less than confused face lol. Then after the trip I showed the kids the receipt and explained all the money we had saved and both were pretty excited, and thought I was extra cool! :-D So, without further wait, here we go into my grocery list!!
