FREE

This is what I was able to get for FREE this week!
Two bags of chips & 36 boxes of pasta. I'm super excited as this goes a long way in feeding hungry tummies. Hooray for sales & matching coupons!

Love Publix Sales!

I made a Publix run on Friday with all 5 kids. I had my coupons & list in hand as usual. It was a challenge having all the kids there but I kept them occupied by giving them jobs. They were thrilled to share in the glory of having saved over $100! Yes, $100! We spent $78 & saved $100! I was very happy! I was able to pick up lots of things we needed plus a couple of treats too. Hooray!

Here is an entry I forgot to post. Whoops!
This is from my June 15th shopping trip.


Boy, this week has been busy! I didn't plan to take a break from blogging but obviously it happened. I have been occupied with catching up on cutting & organizing my coupons, driving the kids back and forth to VBS, house chores, shopping trips, baby care & trying to finish up school. Whew! I have a lot to catch up on with blogging and quite a few pics to share.



I have been enjoying grocery shopping lately. Though it is a lot of work to prepare for these trips the savings make me eager to shop. I see it as a challenge to get as much as possible for less. I am thrilled when I can cut our grocery bill in half and elated when it is cut even more!

This was one of my latest big shopping successes.
