Creative Homeschooling is...Thinking Out-of-the-Box!

Fun at the Grocery Store!
My partner Dena, spent only $136 on $466 worth of groceries recently by doing the Grocery Game. Seeing all the loot she got ( CLICK to see!) inspired my sister and I to try it out for ourselves. So, we met at Albertsons with our "list" (and no children) and boy did we have fun!! The first 15 minutes were spent in front of the cereal isle trying to figure out how all this coupon combining works. I can't tell you how excited I got when I realized I could get 15 boxes of Trix (reg. $ 3.79 per box) COMPLETELY FREE! After 45 minutes of combat shopping ("keep your eyes on the list...") my sister and I went up with our load and coupons and boy did we ever put the checker through the test with all those combined specials. In the end I didn't do quite as well as Dena, but was proud that my original bill of $195 went down to $65, which I COULD HAVE gotten down to $55 had I known that Albertson's honors Safeway's $10.00 off coupon (I threw mine away previously).
The store manager told my sister that recently a woman bought $200 worth of food and only spent $7.00 at his store, playing the Grocery Game!! WOW!! Dena, just posted a new coupon site that is free, check it out.
There I am with a big old grin on my face as I watched the dollar$ come off the total!!!

Here's my loot for $65 which included 12 lbs. of real butter (not the fake stuff, yuk!) and 6 lbs. of Tillamook Cheese and a small cottage cheese...besides a ton of cereal boxes. (we don't usually eat that much cereal but for free, it's a good sweet snack).
