Yeah that’s right, we took a picture of our grocery shopping trip for the week. We are that proud.

Let me say this is mostly Grace. She is becoming an amazing couponer. She is very diligent at looking for deals in circulars, keeping track of upcoming deals, and matching coupons with sales. One of her new goals is to accumulate a majority of the supplies for the wedding house through couponing. I think she’s going to do it. Couponing takes effort, but there is such a high when you go shopping and walk out with a cart full of basically free stuff. We both look forward to grocery day now.

And for the first time ever, we saved over 50% on our entire bill. Grace is so pumped, and so am I. This week, because of previous weeks stock-ups, we were able to grab a lot of products- $152 worth. We stocked up on even more stuff. Here are some highlights:

-2 bags of tortilla chips, originally $7. We paid $1.50.

-2 packages of fudge brownie mix, originally $4.78. We paid only $0.50.

-1 bottle of Smart Balance milk, originally $4.49. We paid $1.00.

-1 bottle of Colgate toothpaste, originally $0.99. We paid nothing- FREE.

-2 packages of chicken nuggets, originally $7.98, We paid $3.00.

-4 packages of Suddenly Salads pasta salad mixes, originally $9.56. We paid $2.00.

-1 box of rottini pasta, originally $2.19. We paid $0.25.

-1 carton of Andes Mint ice cream, originally $2.79. We paid nothing- FREE.

-2 bottle of mustard, originally $3.98. We paid $1.00.

As great as our grocery trip was, I think our trip to Target was even better. We are now making weekly trip to Target because we are finding absolutely crazy deals. This week we bought a bottle of Nivea lotion ($5) and two bottles of spicy brown mustard ($2 each). How much did we pay? 17 cents. $0.17!!!!! Crazy. Plus they were out of the Worchester sauce we wanted to buy with a coupon, so Target gave us a rain check on the item. When we do go back and to pick it up, it will only cost us $.09.

That’s what I’m talking about.
