Savings

So a few weeks ago I talked about how challenged I was at "couponing". I'm happy to report that our delivery person has gotten our driveway with regularity since.

I went on my first shopping trips and was quite surprised at the results.



This was a savings of 46% off my total grocery bill. Not bad. I almost saved as much as I spent.

I was even more impressed with my next trip:



Although it's only 45% off my total grocery bill, I realized that I purchased 85 items for about $82.00. That's better than shopping at the dollar store.

The good news is that we have our groceries for the next 2 weeks including snacks and lunches for the boys. I look forward to learning more and working the system for even better savings. Here's to learning new things!
