Really this isnt bad for my first trip. My local Safeway does double coupons up to .50 so thats always a plus! My fiance hates to grocery shop but because I was having to go help him at his bosses house he decided to just deal with it and not complain. We actually had fun and joked alot while shopping. He was impressed with my savings. And because we were in such a hurry to get out of the store we forgot our oranges! We finally got home, brought it all into the house and I got it all put away when I realized they were missing. I called the store and the lady was very nice and told me yes she had them. I told her I'd be in on wednesday to get them and gave her my name.
