Today I got to use up a bunch of CATs I had from previous transactions.  My savings were huge and I am feeling pretty good about the week so far.  As you can see, I was able to get some fresh produce for cheap as well as milk.  Sometimes it is hard to get the healthy foods you prefer your family to eat and still get great deals.  CAT generating deals are a great way to earn money that you can use on the healthier options that are sometimes harder to get cheaply.  Well, that is all for this post.  Happy shopping!  TTFN!!
