I went off to Publix this afternoon armed with a list, coupons, AND an eleven year old willing to go grab items on distant aisles for me. I ONLY bought items that were:

1. On sale
or
2. That I had a coupon for

In some cases, I bought things that I had a coupon for that were also on sale, making my savings quite awesome. How about buy one get one free Keebler cookies, plus my 2 coupons for $1 off each package? Same thing for the buy one get one free A1 steak sauce I snagged. In the end, I had $34 (!!!!) in coupon savings and another $50 in savings on items that were on sale. I spent $93 out of pocket but I SAVED $86 with buying on sale and using my coupons. By stockpiling on things we frequently buy (yogurt, cereal, condiments, and snacks) I’ve guaranteed that our grocery bills for the next few weeks will be much smaller. We’ll only need to buy the things we NEED (milk, bread, fresh fruits and veggies, meat) for a month or so!

Special thanks to TheGroceryGame.com and Fiddledeedee for the coupon help and inspiration!
