I go to grocery stores too..

You're probably thinking that I do all of my shopping at CVS...

I love to go to CVS because it's ultra close and I can pick up a few things at a time. There is something unattractive about going to a Supermarket for only 3 items. Maybe it's the parking or the enormity of the stores?

I only like going to the grocery store in the evening or early morning (before work). The mornings are certainly the best. Shelves are stocked (or they in mid-stock), zero crowds, and pleasant cashiers.

With an ultra busy work week, I didn't have a minute this week to go to the grocery store. I had planned my shopping trip last weekend and it really would have been a waste to discard all of that knowledge.

I poured over the circular, reviewed the matchups in my favorite forum (http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/shoprite/), hunted through my coupon holder and devised a plan.
