Tom Thumb Trip 11/13/12

We always do all of our food shopping at the local Tom Thumb, which also so happens to be the one at which I work. There weren't a lot of super fantastic deals, but we still managed okay. I didn't reach the mark I wanted to, but I still saved about 44%. The total cost was $71.86 and we saved $56.75. We might have reached the percentage goal had it not been for my fiance buying things that were not on the list--which I happen to think that if he's going to continue to deviate from the list I spend HOURS creating that benefits us and his mom to the utmost, then maybe he should take part in creating it.

For the first time though, we did get overage. There was a sale I didn't know about for the Bird's Eye Steam Fresh for buy 2 get 1 free ($2.50 each). I had three coupons that'd double up to a dollar, so I essentially got two for free and 50 cents overage. I'm still really hoping to hit that 50% savings mark next time. I guess we'll see.
