Weekend shopping excursion

Well, I decided to go get some groceries today and a use a few coupons up before they expired. Well I haven’t worked on my coupons for a couple of weeks so, I had to go through everything and get rid of the old ones and then match up ads. I really didn’t start until this morning so needless to say, I didn’t leave home until 2:30 this afternoon. I knew that I made a mistake because it is after all (1) the start of the weekend & (2) It’s memorial day weekend. I figured it would be packed at all the stores. Well the interstate was very busy, but I was very surprised to see that Target wasn’t that busy. Everyone must have done their shopping early in the week so they could get on the road a little early if they were traveling, camping, or whatever. But it made my job easier.
