I didn't need any basics this week, so the list is mostly supplemental items. I neglected to get fresh fruit -- I couldn't decide between cantaloupe and strawberries, and then I forgot to go back. I should be fine, though, I still have clementines and grapes to be eaten.
I made sure that my coupons got scanned AND I got into my apartment without dropping the wine, so I consider it a successful trip!
Fifteen items

I have watch a few YouTube clips on coupons shopping but as we don't have coupons here I can't get into the idea of it that much. Good if you need that item but buy because it nearly free only is not my idea of saving if you never use at all.

There are very few items I don't like in the house brand. Honey Nut Cheerios and Charmin seem to be my main brand name requirements.
I love it when the house brand is also on sale!
