Notes for this shop: I needed bread and the hotdogs are a kids fav and a decent sale :) I could not get the printable for the Cole's garlic bread :( but needed it for dinner, so I bought it anyway. The Capri Sun were a great deal, as were the veggies since they are the 19oz bags of broc/cheese and those are a huge kids fav around here :) There are better coupons out there for the Idahoan potatoes but the $0.75 one was all I had and I still think that's a decent price.
