A few things I love…

Well I do not like grocery shopping but ever since learning to coupon it’s become a challenge thing…
Kind of "Can I beat the system" or "How much can I save?"

What i do love is coming home with a receipt this long…..like a mile long…..

And folding it in half…..

Exactly in half……

The top half has everything that I purchased ON SALE

And the bottom half has nothing but coupons on it…..(reducing my original purchase price!!)

Then the total being 60.00 less than when I began scanning coupons….

Christmas even jumped up on the table to see what I was doing

Promise I’ll clean the table before you come home honey!!

The best deals of all?

  • Yogurt marked down to 1.00, .50 and .30 because it expires today.  Did you know you can freeze yogurt?
  • Organic Coleman Chicken marked down to 7.00.  I bought 5 packs.
  • Organic Harvest Farm Steaks marked down 1/2 price.  I bought 3 packs for my 9 year olds upcoming birthday.  He loves steak.
  • All of my yogurt that I bought I had dollar off coupons for so I made money on the yogurt.
  • And completely filled up the refrigerator downstairs with Welch’s Grape Juice because it was on sale and I had 1.00 off coupons for each bottle making it 2.50 a bottle.

So I’m set in the meat department for a while.

Did you girls know you can visit your grocery stores in the AM and meat with an expiration date of that day or the next is usually marked down 1/2 price?

It’s a great way to eat organic…..on a budget!!!!!

Happy Grocery Shopping…

    I bought individual servings of Nancy's organic yogurt (the kind that has a little section of organic fruit puree that can be mixed into the yogurt) for 59 cent each for snack on Tuesday! We stopped into the grocery store for eggs and I saw those little treasures (usally $1.20 EACH, but they were set to expire in a couple days) and snagged all of them, which was enough for each of us to enjoy one!!!! Yay!

    Your cat sure it cute!

    Good for you on the grocery shopping. I so am not a coupon shopping. I'm not that great on inventory management of food either. I would like to get better about buying bulk or the raw ingredients and not buying things pre-cut up or packaged or whatnot.
