Big sale at Kroger this week!!!
I plan on hitting the sale on Monday which will count towards my next week's spending. The big attraction this week is Jack's Pizza for 5 for 10. This is a great deal! My family loves Jack's pizza. It makes for an inexpensive meal for those nights that you don't feel like cooking or are to pressed for time. Throw in a bag of salad on sale at Meijer for 1.00 and I can feed my family of 4 for $5.00!!!
Not too bad...

Meijer savings on 3/21 (Spent 85 and Saved 88)
Great sale at Meijer! It is the 10 for 10 sale!!!
It is amazing how challenged I am making sure that my items add up to multiples of 10 to get my deal plus 1 item for free!!!
I bought 20 items and got 2 free!!!
Total spent was 85.00 including tax and I saved 87.91
Savings Breakdown...
Meijer promotions 4.00
Noncoupon savings (buying sale items) 57.76
Total coupons 26.15
=87.91!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, for about 30 minutes worth of time this morning matching coupons and printing coupons earned my family 88 dollars. I know that I don't earn 160 an hour. So for 1/2 an hour worth of work we paid ourselves 88.00!!!
Coupons are great!!! How did I live without them? I will never shop without them!!!

3/7 Meijer shop (Spent 106 and Saved 75)
Again, I am sooooo appreciative of the grocery game. The amount of time and money it saves me is wonderful!
Today was a great shop. Usually on a Saturday which is the last day of the sale, I find that many items are gone. I was able to find everything without getting a raincheck. I was also able to get some Turkey Store Italian Sausage for 40% off. This was priced at a discount because on the label it said that the use by date was today. I bought 6 packages and put them in the freezer so the date won't be a problem for us.
I have 2 good friends that have just signed on to the grocery game. I am so excited that they are trying this great system and I know that they will save tons of money!!
I have been on this coupon adventure for a year now and I am still learning new strategies and finding new ways to save money. I am thrilled with the ways I have been able to save money for our family. Every little bit I save helps pay for our retirement, savings, or college education for our children. I feel like finding these alternative ways to save money has been a huge release on our finances!! I wish you luck on your coupon adventure!

No coupons in Sunday's paper, 2/15
http://www.southernsavers.com/2008/12/2009-coupon-inserts-schedule/
Can you imagine my disappointment that today there were no coupons in the Sunday paper. My first thought was that my inserts were left out. After a search on the internet, I found out that no coupons are in any papers!
See above link for what inserts come in the paper every week!

Great shop on 2/14 at Meijer....

The Pantagraph Sunday paper
The Coupon Clippers (I purchased coupons for items that I always buy like yogurt, organge juice, etc.)- check out their site...

The P&G rebate coupons (I finally received this in the mail!! Great wad of P&G products)
Internet coupons (printed from various coupon sites)
Register Reward coupons (The coupons that spit out of the cash register)
Meijer Mealbox coupons (See link)
It took me about 30 minutes to cut, clip, and organize my coupons for this shop....Not too bad for a 108 dollar savings!!
