Day 4 and 5 of the spending Freeze, and some cheap groceries

Friday I spent a lot of the day out of the house so I didn't make it to posting, but I did score some deals and have some free fun.  I started the morning by going out to coffee with my MIL, her treat, and she drove- thanks Mom!  In the afternoon, I went to the post office to mail some international orders for my little business, and stopped by the store on my way home.  (more on that in a sec).  I took Hubby's little car since it had gas.  Then in the evening my friend picked me up for a fun ladies craft night.  It was a fun day, and I got to miss my Hubs for the 1st time in awhile.  I love having him around, but absence does make the heart grow fonder.

As for the trip to the store. I went to Albertsons to use some more 'twice the value' coupons, since they are good all week.   I had planned out 2 deals, but they didn't have want I wanted for 1, so thankfully, I brought my trusty coupon binder and was able to come up with a back-up deal on the fly.

I did this in 2 transactions.
