lamoracke: Too obscure a hiding spot for my taste though I was okay on the puzzle itself.

Geocache Description:

The Above Coordinates are not correct, so do not go there. This is a very easy puzzle.

Do you cut out coupons? Comparison shop? Use those so-called rewards cards? Buy in bulk when an item is on sale?


If so, this cache is for you. Your wife (or someone else you live with) has given you a shopping list and you thought you would go to 6 stores in the Shoreline area to find good bargains. Well, did you? To find good deals, you went to the 6 main major grocery store chains in Shoreline.

Your shopping list is as follows:
Yogurt
Candy Bars
Rice
Cat Food
Baby Food
Grapes

You find the bargains as shown below. You decided to buy the items in bulk as follows:
3 pounds of grapes
6 boxes of rice
12 bars of candy
18 containers of yogurt
20 jars of baby food
24 cans of cat food

Calculate the total amount you saved from the listed prices and add that amount to the listed coordinates.

No, your wife was not happy with the amount you saved, and your penalty is to be stuck watching Glee with her tonight.
