Here I am again. I know, I know, first you don't hear from me for months, then all I do is talk. Ha. Anyway, I just have to talk about this:
I'm very pleased with myself because I just got $378 worth of food for only $234. That's a savings of over 38% ! We got $144 worth of food for absolutely Free. :-)
I was at the store for about an hour and a half, and I organized the coupons & did planning for about 2 hours if you include printing the coupons from the internet. That's like making 36 dollars an hour.
I only buy things that are already on sale that I need. Almost everything on my grocery list was either on sale or I had a coupon or had both. For example, I got half a pound of sugar for $0.40. Chicken breasts were on sale, buy one get one free... And I had a coupon for each one for $1.50. So that's like getting one for free, and getting three dollars off the first one. And it only cost $6. So I got 4 pounds of chicken for $3 total.
Seriously, when I'm printing coupons, I feel like I'm printing money. :-)
I love to cook and I love to shop, & I really love it when I can save money doing them.
That is absolutely amazing, Starr. Good for you. You certainly planned it well. I envy your resolve.
