too much at marsh

well somehow i spent $47.

i did get some things that weren't on my list, but wow.

10# potatoes 1.98
2 gal $2 milk 4.00
4 lb $2 buttr 8.00
1 lb cott chs 1.00
bogo loaf pans 2.19
fritos 1.98
bogo cofee fltr 2.29 this prob wasn't a great price but needed 'em
lemon juice 2.69
4 cream soup 4.28 after q's ugh
4 bogo bread 2.38 after q's
2 brownie mix 1.60 after q's
produce 3.86
total so far: 36.25

i also got 2 sweet baby ray's bbq sauce at 2.66 *because* the sign on the shelf said bogo,
but it didn't ring up bogo.
and i got a handifoil roaster that was marked 2/$6 but rang up 4.99.

my cost is still a little higher than i estimated at the store, but it should be around $42 with tax.

so i guess i'll be going back to marsh (grumble), because $5 may not be much but i don't clip coupons & pore over sale ads just to throw money away.

so i'll just adjust my totals now.
spent $42
saved $33 (including .15 for bringing my own bags)

i'll go back on weds for another bag of potatoes
(or a raincheck which would honestly be better).
hopefully they'll be fresher rather than having sat around longer;
most of the bags had condensation on the insides. yuck.
