The first picture is crazy-high priced olive bar and deli items.  Sometime it’s nice to use your RRs and gift cards to treat yourself.  But let me tell you, paying almost $7 a pound for cheese?!!!  Makes your hands shake.  PITA found a $2 produce cat, so I picked up these carrots on sale for 1.99.  The cherry tomatoes were BOGO and I used a $1 tomato store cat PITA found.  Yes, I know I could come back with the .55 coupons from 10/16 S, but again, sometimes you just say “what the hell.”

The paper towels are the real deal:  The newest Jewel holiday booklets shown here are out and contain some great coupons and wine deals.  The booklet with the prime rib on the cover contains a $1 Everyday Essentials coupon on cleaning items (and garbage bags).  I used it to buy the paper towels on sale for $1.  This is a legitimate use, since everyone I know uses paper towels for cleaning, right?  The Bring Home the Party book has a $3 off any frozen lasagna when you buy wine…no wine purchase required.  can you say free individual lasagna?  I can.
