Attention Walmart Shoppers...

...clear the shelves! Blizzard's a coming!

My friend who lives in Oklahoma City posted on her facebook page last night that her Walmart was BARE. I cracked up because at our Walmart yesterday, I bought some bananas from a FULL display. Two hours later, Hubs stopped on his way home and told me he saw 3 bananas. A butt load to zilch in two hours. It just cracks me up.

As you can see, I went to Walmart this morning with all the crazies that were out preparing for the blizzard. Ha! I plan on making potato soup this weekend and my recipe takes a lot, so I ran to pick up another gallon. Of course, I was mad I didn't buy it at Dillons yesterday where it was cheaper.
Oh well.

I did pick up a few deals. I had a coupon for $1 off 2 boxes of Rice Krispies. As you can see on the box on the left, it had a peelie coupon for a free bag of marshmallows when you buy 2 boxes. I peeled off the one on the other box and got my free marshmallows. Rice Krispie Treats here I come!

Here's a closer view of the peelie.
The Cheerios weren't on sale, but I did have a coupon for $1 off 2 and my boys go through these like there's no tomorrow. I can't stand the smell of these and can't imagine how they taste, but to each his own.
I also had buy one get one free coupons for the granola bars. They are regularly $2 per box and with 3 BOGO coupons, the total came out to $1 per box.
I usually don't find my best deals at Walmart, but every little bit helps. And for things that my boys go through so quickly but aren't on sale anywhere else, Walmart is usually my best bet. We are already living in fear of what it will be like when they become teenagers. I can only imagine how much they will eat, but I should be a coupon pro by then.

By the way, the bananas were back this morning and were they ever green! So for all you crazies out there preparing for the blizzard, don't eat green bananas or yellow snow.
