Fry's Trip November 7th

I had planned to go to the grocery store at 6 AM this morning so I can shop alone. Well, Trevor had other plans. He was up at 5:15 so I went to the store earlier than expected. It is nice being at the store that early when the lights aren’t even on. No one is there to see me talk to myself about prices and coupons. :) This week at Fry’s they are having a sale where if you purchase 10 participating items you get $5 off. This is a limit of 30 items per transaction. I went over my 30 items so had to break my trip up into 2 transactions. Transaction 1 16 Powerade (Reg. $1.29, Sale .88 = .38 each after the special) Every Day Living cleaner (Reg. $1.29, Sale .89) Coffee Mate (Reg. $3.99, Sale $3.50 - .50Q doubled to $1 = $2.50, This was supposed to be on sale for $1.99.
