Success at the Grocery Store

You can see from my sidebar and description that I love to save money and score on good deals. Where ever I go, I look for the best deal and use what ever means I have to save our family money. I tell my hubby that this is my way of contributing financially to our family since I don't bring home a paycheck. I get so excited when I save us money especially at the grocery store.

For awhile, I've been using coupons pretty religiously. So, this week, using this awesome website (Shop Smart in Vegas) click on my sidebar for the link, I used my coupons and store ad to save big at Albertsons. I should have took a picture but I forgot and already but them away. I will share my savings:

On Monday night, I went to Albertsons and bought everyday household items including Tide, Dawn Dish soap, Kaedie's Shampoo, Yogurt, just to name a few. My total before check out was close to $90. With the combined sale and my coupons, I spent $60. Then, I got vouchers for my next trip worth $15.

On Tuesday, again with my list in hand and coupons, I went back and spent over $100 but with the sale, my coupons, and credit vouchers, I spent $41!! That was a savings of $57!! How awesome!!

Today, with a new sale ad, my list and coupons, I went back and spent $54 and saved us $48!! That included a ton of baby food, plus Buy One get One Free deals that I had coupons for. All my items, besides one, were on sale and I had a coupon! The cashier (super nice lady) was so impressed and cheered me on! I held up the line a little and the guy behind me seemed annoyed, I apologized, but when you live on one income and you can save money, who cares! I don't mind when someone in front of me has coupons. It just shows their smart! :)

So my moral to this post, is that I'm a believer of sales and coupons. Yes it takes alittle time to collect the coupons, compare sales, and go to the store, but it's so worth it! It has blessed our lives in just he few short months I've been doing it.

I'm having a class on Feb. 4th @ 7pm and I'm so excited to learn even more ways to save and I'm inviting any of those of you reading this to come! I will be sending evites to those I have email addresses for, but I would love for all of you to come! Let me know! I will post more info the week prior to the class.
