Ok I am going to have to live vicariously through you all this week! I have been so busy this week that I have not had a chance to shop! I did a quick run to Publix and bought a gallon of milk–seriously that was it! All my buddies at my store were in shock that I only had one item AND I did not have a coupon to use 🙂
So I bet you think we ate out everyday?? Nope! I had more than enough on hand to cover every meal! Well except today–the boys and I had pizza at Chuck E Cheese’s for lunch 😀
I hope to grab some time this weekend to inventory my pantry and make a list so I can do some organized shopping next week!
So it is up to you guys–leave a comment or link to your weekly totals! I need to see some great deals!!

I spent $8.33 for $94.49 worth, saved $86.16 = 91%
I’m fairly new to what I call “NFL-level couponing”, so you guys may not consider this much of a deal but I did.
This week, Post Bite-Sized Shredded Wheat cereal (hubby eats it) was on sale at Kroger at 2 for $4. Thanks to several copies of the Publix Family Winter Savings booklet, I had a 75 cents off coupon for every box I bought. I got 8 boxes for about $10. Considering that just one box usually costs nearly $4, I thought that was pretty darned good.
Normally, I wouldn’t buy so much at one time but the coupon expires at the end of the month. My husband was kind of stunned but when he saw the receipt, he had no problem with it. I caught him clipping a coupon this week and I giggled. He’s hooked, too!
My hubby came home from WAGS with a coupon book for me..left it for me to find on the table and when I said “hey coupons!!!”, he started laughing soo hard. lol I was too busy recovering from the holiday to do any shopping either :/ Glad to hear I wasn’t alone though.
I started using your site for the first time this week, and I saved $48 bucks on my grocery bill. I’m pretty happy about that!
