Correction
As I was looking at my receipt this morning I realized that the milk I was suppose to get for free wasn't deducted. So I really only paid $87.37 for the first one. But then if you minus out the rebate on the popcorn, which is you buy three for $5 bucks you get $5 bucks back with a mail in rebate then I really only paid $82.37 on the first one. All in all I ended up paying $.77 per item. Not to shabby if I do say so myself.

Sarah, It's all your fault!
A little over a month ago my best friend Sarah talked me into trying the whole coupon shopping thing. I asked her if it was really worth it and after telling me that within the short time she had been using them she was able to get 7 months of food storage. Food storage had really been on my mind a lot at that time, so she told me about some of the basic techniques and I was on my way.
Now I am going to ask you a question that Sarah asked on her blog not to long ago.
How much would you pay for:
6 bags of Green Giant veggie steamers
7 bags of Birds Eye veggie steamers
2 gallons of milk
1 bag of Wholesome Goodness cat food
10 cans of Wholesome Goodness cat food
4 48 oz. bottles of Crisco cooking oil
8 tubs of Land o Lake butter
3 boxed of Jolly Time popcorn
1 15lbs. bag of Russet Potatoes
5 1 pound containers of table salt
5 boxes of baking soda
2 pks of McCormick gravy mixes
10 boxes of Lipton dry soup mix
8 cans of Del Monte vegies
4 cans of Campbell's beef gravy
4 cans of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup
4 cans of Swanson Broth
4 cans of Carnation Evaporated milk
3 boxes of Swiss Miss cocoa mix
6 boxes of Pillsbury brownie mix
4 boxes of Betty Crocker brownie mix
8 boxes of Kellogg's Cereal
or
8 boxes of Nestle cocoa mix
7 10 oz. bottles of Vaseline Lotion
4 boxes of Excedrin PM 50 ct
1 bottle of juice
2 treats for kids
or
10 packs of 80 ct wipes
4 dozen eggs
2 half gallons of Dryers Ice Cream
1 2 liter of A&W Root Beer
1 story book
1 coloring book
3 8oz. blocks of Cache Valley Cheese
Well on the first one without the sale or coupon I would have paid $240.32. I ended up only paying $89.97 that is a $150.35 savings.
on the second on I would have paid $60.45. I ended up paying $27.69 that is a $32.76 savings.
And on the last one I would have paid $67.63. I ended up paying $29.79 that is a $37.84 savings.
If it were not for Sarah's persistence I would be paying the before price. I am so thankful that she has taught me the tricks of the trade. I has made such a difference in our home. In 2 months I have nearly 4 months of food storage (if not more). Something that I have not been able to do in the 9 years Wayne and I have been married (not that I didn't try). I have been able to cut our food budget almost in half.
So, Sarah this is all your fault!
And I thank you every time I go shopping.
