My Grocery Store of Choice is

Today they had a great Trick or Treat Event and Halloween Costume contest, Macy won 3rd place for being a box of popcorn so we got a $10 gift card.

While I was getting formula a $10 off a $50 purchase coupon printed at the bottom of my receipt. If you aren't familiar with ShopRites Baby Bucks program this is how it works, when you spend $100 on baby items you get this awesome coupon ($10/$50). You can get a total of 13 of these, I am not sure if it is a yearly deal or during a certain time frame.

Tomorrow I am hoping to get $50 worth of items and get $20 off using the $10 gift card and the $10/$50.

These are the deals that look good to me although you may find others to your liking.
