HUGE savings @ Dillons and KMart!

I saved bundles at Dillon's and KMart today. It was such a HUGE savings that I decided to take some photos of my shopping trips today. (I know, it is kind of weird to take photos of my loot, but to each his own...besides, this gives my hubby a good look at exactly what I accomplished.)
For those of you that are coupon sceptics that think I run all over the place and waste tons of time and gas couponing let me tell you this...It only took me about 1 1/2 hour to plan and another 1 1/2 hours to shop. I left the house at 8:45 a.m.(took my daughter to preschool before shopping) and returned home at 10:30 a.m. You can do this too...it's not hard, but it does take a little bit to get the hang of it. It is WELL worth the time and effort!
There are 3 photos below with the details on my purchases listed below each photo.
