……………It’s been a while since I hit the grocery stores like I did tonight! It felt good though! With my girls back in school and having to double-up on the snack load around here…..I really needed to stock up! I LOVE COUPON SENSE!!!! For those who don’t know….I am an instructor for them and have been teaching women how to save money on their grocery bills for about 4 years now! I love it! It’s the best job in the world! Anyway….here comes the bragging part. Everything you see in this photo I got for $64.00!!!!! Yes……..believe it or not! And I have the receipts to prove it! I saved $199.00!!!!! and if you’ll notice…..everything is brand name….no generic stuff! okay so here’s what I got:
8 pkgs of GE light bulbs
3 bottles of Apple Juice
4 Gallons of milk
bananas
grapes
12lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 pkgs of hot dog buns
3 bottles of BBQ sauce
6 pkgs of raisins
2 pkgs of Bic advanced razors
9 boxes of Kleenex
2 boxes of Downy fabric softener
5 pkgs Bar S hot dogs
22 boxes of cereal
3 jars of grape jelly
3 jars of peanut butter
3 tubs of butter
3 loaves of bread
Good stuff!!!!
And in other news……I did this layout earlier this week:

Using coupons is addicting isn’t it? I spent $36.93 yesterday on groceries. It would have been $82.16 without coupons. Yahoo!
