Wow! What a busy day you had! I did the same thing at my local LD....Stacked 4 coupons on the SUnlight detergent...was pretty proud of myself, most I've stacked on one item yet!

So fun that you got to do it with your sister! My sister is still in university and in another city but we love to give each other a heads up on good coupons / deals. I would love it if one day we lived in the same city so we could shop together!
