Albs -- stocking up on meat!

I think I'm a hoarder. Really! Now...don't make fun! *smile* I know stockpiling is a kind of hoarding...so what couponer isn't just a awesome hoarder with a cute binder? Or is that a cute hoarder with an awesome binder?? Still...sometimes...

Since I track OOP only when recording how much I pay, I tend to hoard $$ off catalina ONYO for a "big" shopping trip. That's when I try to stock up on meat. I was working under a few constraints today: (1) I wanted to use a $6 off $60 CAT (2) I had a raincheck expiring on the 7/20 (3) I had a few various $ CAT OYNO expiring on 7/19.

Here's what I bought today at Albs:


Total OOP $36.21
($39.83 w/tax)

Received $2/1 cat for Mitchum deodrant
MIA $1 cat for mac & cheese -- called catalina company to get it mailed to me
