I'm not sure how other than being careful about what we bought but last months grocery bill was $298 for a family of 5 with 2 growing boys.  You can say I was inspired to save more! Seeing as how last month I didn't really follow any sales ads or use any coupons I knew I could do better! So Monday I went out on a mission, this is what came of it all: From Town & Country ( a local market) I spent a whopping $40.76! (total bill w/o ads and coupons was $78.04) 5 loaves of bread .78¢ each! 3 gallons of milk (2 on sale) 5 packs of hot dogs (10/$10) 4 jars of spaghetti sauce (2/$3) parmesean cheese $3.59 (full price, ouch!) 4 - 12 packs of pop (3/$8.88 + buy 3 get a diet free) 2 pops at the register (rare) $2.28  5 boxes of kelloggs cereal  on sale for 5/$8.88 + my 5/$1 off each box coupons for a grand total of $3.88  - My crowning glory! !-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> After this quiet successful trip I headed over to Walgreens. (I just learned about register rewards!) I think I did pretty well for a first timer lol. Not a first timer to walgreens, just really trying to utilize their ads for our needs.  Cash out of pocket $36.94 (made back $11 in RR) 2 large boxes of kleenex 2/$3 4 mr. clean erasers 2/$5 + $2 in RR for buying $10 in mr clean products. 2pks of 3 bars Ivory soap .99¢ each 2 bottles of dawn detergent .99¢ each 2 Listerine mouthwash products 2/$9 (+ $4.50 in RR) colgate toothpaste $4.50 (with $4.50 in RR) oh and the pack of gum :) I also subscribed to 2 of our larger town papers Sunday only for $1 each per week so I can start getting those coupons as well. Will keep ya'll updated on how that works out. :) http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WarrenChristianSchool/686228/ Wed, 6 May 2009 10:25:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WarrenChristianSchool/686228/ MIchaels has 3 coupons that are good through May 9th! 20% off your entire purchase (excluding sale items) Bonus 10% off Stock Trees (sale and regular price) Bonus 25% off Wall and Table Frames (sale and regular price) http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WarrenChristianSchool/686157/ Wed, 6 May 2009 07:57:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WarrenChristianSchool/686157/ In these times we all want to save more money.
