I'm On a Roll!!

This week is an awesome week for coupons at my local grocery store. I just happen to have lots of multiple coupons(many thanks to my savvy neighbor that's just like me) and the store is having a lot of great sales....this equals me saving A LOT of money to feed my family. The other great plus is that many of these are items I would not normally purchase for my family because they fall into the "too expensive" category. This is just from my grocery trip I made today....I still have another trip to make on Thursday too! So, here's what I was able to stock up on today...

Chex Mix(5)
Betty Crocker Potatoes(17) (I love these because you can just throw in extra ham or
chicken and it cooks fast!)Hint...baby on the way!
Fiber One Pop Tarts(5) (watching the weight :)
Kashi Cereal Bars(5)
Fiber One Bars(13)
Nature Valley Bars (13)
Bisquick (3)
Fruit Rollups(10)
Fruit Rollup Stackers(6) (the kids LOVE these!)
Sugar Cookie Mix(3)
Betty Crocker Frosting(3)
Betty Crocker Muffin Mixes(3)
Huggie Baby Wipes(7)
A Christmas Baby Bib(1) - For one baby :)

So, that's a total of 94 items. I saved $79.98 using coupons and $86.87 by purchasing items on sale...that's a total of $161.85 in savings.

My total bill was $73.83. That equals about $.79 per item...not bad...plus, the majority of the food does not expire until late this year - BONUS!

Plus, I received coupons worth $14.00 in Box Tops for the kid's school, and did I mention that many of the items have Box Tops on them too?

Emma wanted to pose with the groceries....hopefully she will inherit my hobby.



I really enjoy this hobby, not only because it is fun, but it also helps feed my family. This is just one of the ways that we see God's provision for us. Sometimes it takes a little work and patience, but in the end, the harvest is plentiful.
