May. 6, 2009 - Coupons Stacked on Ads Save!
Last month I did awesome. 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!

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. :)
