Extreme Couponing Shopping Trip

Here is my second shopping trip since Hurricane Sandy.  This time I did stock up on some meat.  Remember, if you lost everything in your freezers, go slowly.  Don’t try to buy everything all at once.

Earlier in the week I picked up some refrigerated items and yesterday I grabbed some meats for the freezer.  And, of course, while I was out, I can’t resist taking advantage of some freebie deals.

My refrigerator and freezer are now starting to look like someone lives here!  So much better then seeing an empty frig!
