today i saved...

$204.55

I am tired and still don't feel great so there is no pic of my receipt (you'll just have to trust me) but here is the run down. It took me 15 minutes to prep for my trip to the grocery store and an hour at the grocery store. I purchased 91 items and spent $94.71 plus earned a $10 mail-in rebate. My total before sales and coupons was $299.26. My total included lots of stock up items plus I spent $20 on medicine (both Paul and I are sick) and $10 on fresh orange and grapefruit juice.

I promise I won't continue to catalog my trips to the grocery store. I am just really excited about my new adventures in couponing.

I'm a coupon clipper myself. My husband is embarrassed to go to the grocery store with me now. It's part of my Sunday newspaper reading ritual. Good job!

you have totally inspired me to start doing this. i ventured out this week with my coupons in hand and spent 140 dollars, but saved 130. i know i could do way better than that, but i was still so excited to have saved that much. i need to talk to you to get some good tips. this is the best thing ever!

great work amy!
