Saving money is easy. Saving money is fun. Saving money is second nature to us....we've been doing it for a very long time (30+ years combined between the two of us!). For all of the "newbie thrifty divas" out there, saving money may take a little work in the beginning but trust us, it will pay off!
For our family of 4, we have budgeted $60 each week to spend on groceries and household items. We stretch our budget by using coupons and usually save $20-$30 each week in coupons. This week, I have to show you what we bought (see picture):
Kashi Frozen Dinner - sale price $3.00 - I had coupon for free up to $4.50 value = $0.00
Snipes Frozen Ham & Cheese Minis - sale price $1.25 ea (2 boxes) - I had coupon for $1.00 off 2 = $1.50
Bertolini Frozen Pasta Bakes - reg price $5.96 ea (2 bags) - I had 2 coupons for $2.00 off each = $3.96 ea
Gorton's Frozen Talipia - reg price $3.52 (2 boxes)
Gorton's Frozen Fish Sticks - sale price $4.18 - I had coupon for $1.00 off 3 Gorton's products = $3.18
Yoplait 32 oz Strawberry Yogurt - reg price $2.14 - I had coupon for $.55 off = $1.59
Wheat Thins Crisps - sale price $2.00 per bag (2 bags) - I had a coupon for $2.00 off purchase of 2 so basically I got 2 bags for $2.00
Arnold Double Fiber Loaf of Bread - reg price $1.88 - I had a $1.00 off coupon = $.88
Thomas Plain Bagels - reg price $1.97 - I had a $1.00 off coupon = $.97
Jello Packaged Ready to Mix Jello (3 Flavors, Large Box) - reg price $1.00 ea (3 boxes)
2 Gallons of Wal-Mart Brand Skim Milk - reg price $2.98 per gallon - I had a $1.00 off coupon if purchase milk and 3 boxes of Jello Ready To Mix Jello
Fiber One 4 Pack of Yogurt - reg price is $2.12 - I had a $1.00 off coupon. I had 6 coupons about to expire so I bought 6 packs of yogurt.
