I had a very productive shopping day. I went to Wal-Mart, Food Lion, and Publix to pick up some freebies and cheap items. I need to get into the habit of taking my coupon binder with me when I go shopping. It seems that when I leave it at home, I find that I need a coupon or two that I left in it. However, I find that if I take it with me, I tend to overspend. Maybe I'll find a "happy medium". Here's what I got....Ohhhh....I did NOT clear any shelves with the quantities that I bought.....
