Notes:
The register crabbed at the cashier when she scanned my second Chi-Chi's Q. She actually handed it back to me saying she already had one, but took it again when I pointed out that one was for salsa and one was for tortillas.

Many items were purchased because we simply needed them, and they haven't been on sale anywhere for a while.

I could have picked up some free Handi-foil cake pans for purchasing over $50 in groceries, but I really didn't think I'd use them. The coupon is available through Sunday at www.marsh.net

I normally wouldn't be proud of 42%, but getting a decent price on meats is VERY difficult, and the freezer has been looking a bit too spartan lately...
