Coupon Shopping

I keep telling some of you that I would post this so here it is. As some of you might know I have started to get more and more into coupon shopping. With how tight money is right now it is the only way we survive. I have been trying really hard to do better at it and stick to a budget. I try to stick to $75.00-$80.00 a week. This is a picture of today's shopping. If you can't tell what's in it here is a list.

1 Chicken
1 dozen eggs
8 boxes of Honey Nut Chex
3 boxes Wheaties
1 box Apple Jacks
1 box fruit loops
2 box frosted mini wheats
4 boxes of Life
1 box Quaker squares
2 loafes of bread
4.59 lbs of bannanas
Lettuce
1 bottle Infusium Shampoo
1 bottle Infusium Conditioner
5 bottles of Powerade
5 64oz Juicy Juice
3 of the big Kleenex boxes
2 boxes of ghiradelii turtle brownies(I am excited to make these)
2 6 oz bottles of suave lotion
3 gallons of milk
6 yogurts
2 boxes of ice cream
2.28 lbs of grapes
5 bags of rice cakes
10 bags of goldfish crackers
2 buckets of the Lloyds shredded beef
3 packages of Hamburger buns


The total was $78.75

I used a total of $32.50 in coupons which defiantly paid for the newspaper. I pay $17.25 a months for 5 Sunday papers so I can get five set of adds. By doing this I can get more discounts. It has become easier and easier and less time consuming as I am figuring out the ends and outs of it. I love it because me food storage is getting built up and I don't have to spend more money I actually spend less and get more food. The trick is to learn how to stock up and learn how to eat of your food storage.


I wish I had a picture of last weeks shopping it was a great coupon week too. There is no picture but this is what I got:
4 jars of peanut butter
2 bags of chocolate chips
3 gallons of milk
2 gallons of Apple Juice
2 cans of creasant rolls
12 cans of green beans
1/2 gallon of ice cream
2 boxes of butter
5 cans of chilli
4 1/2 lbs of apples
3.18 lbs bannans
2 bags of salad
12 boxes of that Pasta Roni
2 boxes of pop tarts
10 packages of those breaded chicken patties (4 in each package)
1 bag of Nabisco cookie bites
1 bag of Ritz bites
1 package of hamburger buns,
1 loaf of bread,
1 sour cream
8 boxes of Quaker instant oatmeal
2 dozen eggs
20 cans of Spaghetti O’s

All for $76.22

If money is tight and you don't coupon shop I highly suggest that you learn how. I am hoping to go to Elko soon and teach a class there. If you would like to learn more contact me I would love to help. I am all about saving money.
