Be Prepared

Yesterday I was asked to go to Shop Rite to pick up two cases of tomatoes that were going off sale.  There was no list that I was given, just really look at the ad once you get there and pick up whatever I want.  I grabbed my coupon binder and some cans and bottles I had to redeem and headed out.  As I am stopping before items I am thinking of buying I consult my binder to see if I have the coupon.  I kinda recall that I should.  Well, since I am behind yet again on clipping and filing coupons it is possible I had the coupon, but just not with me.  It's frustrating at times that I don't have every coupon filed yet.  I really need to get on it...Or I could just take my son's point of view and say it's okay to spend once in a while on something I was going to get free.  I don't know is it ok?  Well I guess I agree since I picked up three of something that at times in the past I could have gotten for free.
Even though I was not as prepared as I should have been, or would have liked to be I saved $84.16 this shopping trip and received a save $1.25 coupon on your next order.  My total for that trip was $84.67  with only 1 coupon, 2 bottle receipts and a whole lot of sales I managed to save 50% on this shopping trip.  I could only imagine if I was more prepared how greater the savings could have been.
