This is awesome!

I'll make this short.
I spent 67.13 on grocery shopping this week.
I got 49 items.
About 1.37 each item.
WOW~!
Oh and I love when Giant does discount produce day!!
Got me some green onions and brocolli!

Shoppers Trip

Okay today I went to Shoppers because they had TRIPLE coupons! So I thought I'd go and see what I could do. I bought 24 items and paid only 25.84. Thats like a dollar and some change per item. It's like I shop at the dollar store, but with better quality. My best bargain? I bought a 4 pack of Bic Comfort 3 Pivot razors for Ed. Regular price 3.19, I had a coupon for 2.00 off so that made them 1.19. Bonus!!! I got the pack that gave you 2 free razors! 6 razors for 1.19! This is the first time in a long time I haven't dreaded going to the grocery store. I feel I have more control of where my money goes.

First week of full shopping

Well I don't think I did so bad this week. I had to go to 4 stores, but they werent all very far from each other. So today we spent a total of 89.64 for our groceries. However, I saved 35.51 in coupons and store savings. So I got 125.15 worth of groceries for 89.64. I also was able to stock up on a few things.
Right now I'm just getting incredibly frustrated with our slow computer! So I am going to have to do something about it!

Saving money with coupons.

I went to an Enrichment Night last night on frugal living. There was a lady there who talked about saving as much as 80% on your grocery bill by using coupons. I have tried this before, but didn't really get much out of it. I am trying it again to see if I can't save even more now. I was so excited that I had a hard time going to sleep last night, and I woke up this morning excited to see what I can do to save today. After searching the site http://sahmmoney.blogspot.com/ I was able to find some really great local deals coupled with coupons that came in the paper. I realize I am just starting out, and there is vast amounts I still need to learn, but I wanted to show everyone how I did today.


2 boxes Fiber One cereal
1 box Fiber One toaster pastries
1 box Fiber One instant pancake mix
1 box Fiber One chewy granola bars
1 can Progresso Soup



I also combined these with Manufacturers Coupons from the newspaper (which were then doubled at the store). As I learned at the website above, if I buy 15 dollars worth of these products I get $5 dollars off instantly at the end of my order. So grand total for all was:

$9.44!

That's $1.57 per item! I would pay 1.57 for any one of these items. Even the cereal, which, by the way, I have a personal limit of $2.00 for a box.
Full price would have been $20.44. I saved over 50% this time.
Now I understand that Fiber One products might not be the choice of all families, but in ours, we love anything with fiber in it! So this deal was the bomb for us. So, so far so good!
