This weekend and early next week we will be out of town and I have NO cooking responsibilities.
This week's trip was only $38.54 out of pocket. It said I saved 31% but that did not include sales or markdowns. I am thinking more like 40%. I needed some milk (markdown 1/2 price and had a coupon), shrimp, chicken, and got some cereal. Ben and I are really trying to curb the sugar habits in our sons but I do like to buy some goodies every once in awhile. This week, they had "cinnamon cereal" (Cinnamon Toast Crunch) on sale for $1.99 plus my $1 off coupon--$1 is my buy price for this cereal. I bought several boxes.
I didn't see any really great deals this week. Sometimes that is how it is but when you shop the outside aisles of the grocery store (the perimeter) and are cooking most of your food from scratch, it makes it possible to have groceries without breaking the bank.
Looking foward to hearing your success stories. My friend, Allyson, made her goal this week. Do you have a goal to shoot for or are you just aimlessly using coupons? Are you using your list or do you just buy what sounds good? Are you menu planning or do you open the fridge every day and hope for the best? Planning takes time but it will also save you MONEY! Remember that coupons are like cash so use them wisely and you will see the difference! Happy Shopping!
