Walgreens Trip and an Interview

I headed out first thing this morning with my list and coupons in hand to shop at Walgreens while doing an interview and taking pictures with the local paper! That's right! Yours truly is suppose to be front page news on Wednesday! I can't believe it! I am totally in shock/embarrassed/appreciative of the attention to my little corner of the couponing world. I hope the story helps someone else save money!


On to the trip! I'm disappointed to say that of course they were out of almost everything and didn't even carry one of the products advertised! But I did come across another great deal! Cheap pizza!!!
