My Shopping Trips for Today

I made a trip to Kroger where I had two transactions. I unlike many do one transactions worth of shopping at a time. I shop, check out, take my groceries to the car, and then return to the store and do it again. Many do multiple transactions at one time, if it works for you I say do it, I tend to get my orders mixed up and wind up loosing on some of my savings this way.
