Trip to Albertsons

I had been meaning to make a trip to Albertsons ever since last week. Life got in the way, and I realized after lunch that today was the last day to take advantage of the deals for the current ad. I flipped through my coupons really quickly and came up with a couple deals that I thought were worth a trip. I bought everything pictured below and spent...
