This was a slow shopping week for me! We had so many things going on this week that I really didn’t have time to shop 🙂 Overall it was a good week–I spent $18.56 OOP for $200.60 worth of products. So my savings percentage was 91% this week. The best part is that I was able to complete the Fuel For School Rebate for ZERO out of pocket! I will receive a $10 rebate for the Eggo waffles that I purchased!
You will notice that I spent a fair chunk of my OOP on Goldfish and Laughing Cow Cheese. Both of these items are not often on sale when there are corresponding coupons–so I decided that since we really didn’t need much this week I would take advantage of them while they were a great deal!

How did you do this week? Leave a comment or link to your weekly totals.
Hi Michelle,
That is an amazing amount of food for $18.56! What were your $3/$30 coupons?
I am so amazed. You inspire me, but I never get this low and never see some of the coupons you use. Thanks so much for this website.
Great job! I am relatively new to the world of couponing and “strategic shopping” and I have already learned a lot by reading your blog. I just hope that I can eventually get to the incredible OOP that you achieve each week!
Question? How were you able to do the Kellogg’s Eggo purchase with zero oop? I bought 10 but paid $2.97. I will then send for $10 rebate but wondered how you did with sero oop. Just curious.
I see you saving really big bucks, but I also see a lot of food, that is purely junk food or really NOT healthy for you to eat. I love your website,and I do save money, But I will never save as much as you do. I am to picky about my health, and the food that I eat. We try to keep all our foods organic, or all natural, and Publix is doing a great job at offering these types of foods.
I love the new layout of your blog, I haven’t been by in a while. You did fantastic this week at the stores!!! Good for you!!!
I am still new to this couponing and my “binder” isn’t very full yet so MY savings wasn’t quite as large. But I think I did ok for this week. Thanks so much for your blog…you are one of several that have inspired me to save money for my family with couponing. 😀
thanks so much for ur site — it’s very informative :)`
I love your site. I have linked you on my site so my readers can access your wonderful information. I am so thrilled to be saving money like this and I could not have done it without your help! Thank you thank you thank you!!
