Look at what I won today

[Brumeiser]

I am still in shock. Last Monday got a phone call that I was one of 11 finalist to have a 2 minute shopping at our new local grocery store. They had over 5,500 entries for this. Well today I won the shopping spree and stocked up with 365 dollars worth of free groceries. You were only allowed 2 of each sku but I was still able to stock up, I was also the first in this shopping spree to fill up 2 carts. What a nice treat to come back from vacation last week. Thought I would share with all of my budget friends.

Wow, that is awesome!! Where are the pictures?? LOL I would love to see all your loot!

 

[MonkersMama]

Yeah! Did you get any pics of your carts? What was your strategy?

That's awesome, congratulations!

That is VERY cool....reminds me of the episode of Laverne & Shirley where they won a shopping spree, but all they got over the finish line was 2 bottles of Bosco (chocolate syrup)!

There also used to be a game show called Supermarke Sweep that I loved and the winner got a spree, but it was to see who could get the most dollar value over the finish line...not for the actual products.

Congratulations!

If you go to www.wtol.com on the right hand side there is a place for videos, I have my disney shirt on and they just show the clip from the 2 minute shopping spree. They just show the shopping spree. On the question for stratagy the answer was yes, we were allowed a half hour to walk the store and plot what you are going to do. I marked the aisles on my hand on the main aisles I wanted to hit. I got to all of the aisles but one on my stratagy, which I thought was pretty good. I did skip a few things on my list but my wife said with the stress and being on live tv I did fine. We now have a freezer full of meat. With a pending layoff at my company this is a welcome relief to help us out.

right now it is the 5th video on the home page. Yes they compared this to Supermarket Sweep that was such a cool show. Only difference was I did not have to get back to the starting line before the clock ended.

Wow!! You sure got a lot of stuff. My son and I just got done watching the video. Congrats!!

 

[Dancemom03]

Awesome! Congrats on your win and what looks to be a great haul... It makes me tired just watching!

Besides not having more of two of the same, were there any other rules? Did you have to reach more than one area of the store or could you have filled the cart right there in meats or frozen foods?

 

[MonkersMama]

WOOHOO!!! I just watched the video, you rocked the aisles man!! Way to load up on the meat and huge packs of stuff! DS and I were cheering you on watching the video.
