My Shopping Trip: Stop & Shop

We have approximately 3-4 weeks until moving day.  As of today, our exact date is still up in the air.  But we are cleaning out and organizing in the hopes of having the move go as smooth as possible.  One of the things I have been doing is cooking from our stockpile and freezer trying to empty everything out.  There is no way I can clean out the stockpile, nor do I want to, however the freezer needs to be emptied before we move.   Last week and this week I did made trips to the Farmer’s Market for our produce, lunch meat and nuts.

Today I stopped at Stop & Shop since I had 2 catalinas expiring tomorrow.  Plus I received coupons in the mail for a Free Kraft Salad Dressing (with $15 purchase) and $2 off $5 Produce.  And I had some eCoupons in my Stop & Shop account I wanted to use up.
