The Grocery Chronicles Continues...

And so, our saga resumes with me wandering around the grocery store searching for sun-dried tomatoes that come in a jar bigger than a thimble - an essential ingredient for Sun-Dried Tomato and Artichoke Pasta Salad.  You would think they'd be with the canned vegetables perhaps?  Not there.  Maybe with the pasta sauce?  That's where I spotted the pitifully tiny jar of sun-drieds that cost $5.  Of course, what I needed ended up being in the produce section, next to the fresh tomatoes (duh!), which was where I started in the first place.

Anyway!  I believe I actually might have done better this time with my savings, since a lot of what I got was on sale (I swear they were having a frozen pizza extravaganza), aaaand I had more coupons, which I found through Southern Savers...  Let's see, shall we?
