Haha I sure hope so! I do about 15-20 loads a week, so it should last awhile! I already have probably 20 bottles (at least!) in my laundry room, but the coupon was expiring soon!

couponclippercaitie...those pork roasts WERE huge! Nice price. I am wondering if honeydews and cantaloupes are pricier where you are than in Ontario because I can grab huge melons by PM from other flyers and often get them a little over a $1.00, maybe $2.00 at most. Just curious?
You did great with the overall shop though, especially that .08 cent ground beef! lol

I wish you could get them for those prices here! The cheapest I've EVER seen them here is probably $1.50 or so, and that would have been an insane deal. At the grocery store they were closer to $5, but I just love them and can't go without! lol

And for the pork roasts, they were gigantic! And pork is so versatile in our home! We use it for:
-Pulled pork sandwiches
-Pulled pork pizza (delicious!!!)
-Pork souvlaki
-Plain old pork roast w/ veggies
-Stir fry
-Honey garlic pork
The list goes on!!!

Thank-you, you're always so sweet!

And he's so funny about some things. He goes on these big rampages, or what he calls "fly genocides" and seriously spends over an hour searching for flies and killing them! I recently caught him using my flyers to do this... LOL

Way to go Caitie! It's hard enough to shop for deals on your own without having a little one with you! You did so great!

[glenglen]

[Lynx123]

You're also too sweet! But I do LOVE shopping with Olivia! She sits up now and smiles at everyone she sees, reaches for other kids (annnnd everything on the shelves... LOL), and I love having people stop and tell me how beautiful she is, or ask her age, etc.

When she gets a little older I can teach her to look for tear pads with me haha!

How's your little man doing?? (probabally not-so-little anymore!)

[coley3]

Amazing shopping. You got lots of great deals. I would love to have a weeks worth of groceries for under $100. I tell you you ladies on here inspire me
