Grocery Deals

For those who don't know, I have been trying to do "couponing" for a couple weeks now. I went to a coupon class a couple weeks ago and learned the in's and out's of coupons and how the grocery store that I shop at works.


I have been saving some money the past 2 weeks, but not saving what some people save. I am still working on being that person that rings up a $150 total and walks out paying $25. Today though, I am proud of my purchases. I got some good deals, used some good coupons and spent very little money. Now keep in mind that I did have to buy some things like fresh fruit and deli meat that wasn't on sale or good deals and I did not include them in my total. But for the good deals here is what I spent and what I spent it on.


Total before savings = $43.97

Total after advertised savings = $23.15 (that includes sales and B1G1 free)

Grand total spent after coupons = $8.15


I can't believe that I got all this food for just $8.15!!!!! I am rather proud of myself. Too bad I had other stuff to buy and had to spend more money than that. One day, I will go to the grocery store and only spend that much money!!!!!
