{GONE}

Although I had two shopping trips last week I thought I would highlight my Albertsons double coupon trip.  But before I do that I wanted to thank everyone who has read my Monday’s with Mavis posts over the last year.  This will be my last one as I am leaving Fabulessly Frugal at the end of the week.

The deals were pretty FAB this week, so I decided to stock up on a few key items.  Okay, so basically I stocked up on marshmallows.   Camping season is right around the corner after all. Ha Ha Ha.

I completed 22 transactions.  I pre-ordered my Kraft Marshmallows and Easter Eggs. I used 3 double coupons per transaction.  I went ahead and broke down my transactions so you could see how I did it.

Kraft Marshmallows $1.00

Is this what the average Albertsons coupon shopper can expect to purchase during a typical trip? Probably not. Unless you have access to a lot of coupons {I do} or purchase extra coupons from a clipping service or off eBay, you are not likely to have a transaction like this {but you can do this on a much smaller scale to fit your lifestyle}. This is a couponing trip I would consider Extreme Couponing Done Right.

So how did YOU do this week?  There were so many good deals!  What was your favorite one?
