My Grocery Trip Today

I think I did pretty good, seeing as my hubby, 3 kids and 2 dog where waiting in the truck for me. I still took longer than my DH would have liked but oh well. I went to my local Albertsons because the had Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, Raisin Brain and Rice Crispys small size for $1.59 a box, and I have lots of $1 off coupons for Kellogg’s. Wouldn’t you know it by the time I got there they only had the Rice Crispys left? Well I still got 2 boxes @ $0.59 each and I picked up 2 boxes of Kellogg’s Special K (one blueberry, one cinnamon pecan) I had 2 $1 off coupons making them $1.50 each.

I also picked up the Olive Oil at a great price. It was normally $8.39 on sale for $4.99 plus I had a $1 off coupon.

Then I had a money maker deal as well, (my first one ever!) I had two coupons for $1.50 off any size Kotex. The pantyliners where 10 for $10 (or $1 each) so I got two and used my coupons so they owed me a dollar! (of course they just took it off my bill, but it was still a cool feeling, lol)

So in total for all that you see pictured (including the paper, I hear there are a ton of coupons in it this week) plus a gallon of milk (it was on sale for $2.00), I only paid $32.59, but get this, my savings totaled $36.25. I saved more than I spent! Whooo. I must say I’m super happy!

Do you cut your coupons from the newspaper or get them online. You got some spectacular deals....I'm envious :)

Good job! I always end up spending way more when I have coupons and I still can not for the life of me understand that one!

I have a lot to learn from you! "Frugal" is my new word for 2009!

Good Job!

I love when I save more than I spent. Makes you feel like you've won in a game or something.
