Notes:
I had been waiting for the Smart Balance spread to go on sale, but it got to the point where I needed to buy some and could not wait any longer. $2.99 is not a bad price to pay ($2.49 with coupon), since the sale prices are usually around $2.50.
$3.50 is not the best sale price for Edy's bars; I've seen them usually on sale for $3.00 and rarely for $2.50. But, this was an example of having a craving for something and seeing the coupon just itching to be used.

Popsicle brand pops 8ct: Reg $1.49 - $0.50/1 mfr coupon (doubled to $1/1) = $0.49

I made 2 errors with this trip:

• I thought I had a coupon for $1/2 of the chips, but it was for a different brand. I didn't realize this until I got to the register. As it turns out, the other brand was also on sale and will be for the next couple of weeks, so I could potentially go back and get them at some point. The two brands have very similar packaging, so it was easy to get confused. In the future, I will definitely check my coupons before putting the product in my basket/cart, even if I'm shopping with someone else (as was the case here).
• I thought the firecracker popsicles were on sale for $1.25, but it turned out that only the regular orange/grape/cherry pops were on sale. I still got a great deal!

4/21 Trip
I had some trouble with coupons scanning on the self-checkout, and the cashier rang me up at another register to input those extra coupons. This doesn't usually happen, so I didn't think to ask for the original receipt and ended up with just a basic receipt with the total and savings info. Here it is:

Total before savings: $51.31
Total savings: $19.47 (in store sale savings and coupons)

Stop & Shop had a couple of great sales this week. I made it to the store right before closing on the last day of the weekly sales, so I didn't have time to poke around like I sometimes do. This was an in-and-out stick-to-the-list trip. I know the percentages are low compared to some of my other posts, but grocery trips are always the most expensive.

This week was Dollar Doubler (DD) week at Stop & Shop, meaning you can use coupons from the store flyer to double your $1 manufacturer coupons.
