Go figure…we needed a few more things for Christmas, plus I wanted to use my other three Smart Balance Milk printable coupons. I also wanted to try out the Whiskas wet cat food deal I posted earlier, since we are planning on buying more next week after we find out if our cats like it. Considering our small trip consisted of milk, cheese, frozen veggies and cat food, I am happy with our savings percentage, even though it is a little lower than most of our recent trips.
