Last night I made a trip to the grocery store (actually 2 of them). Our budget for groceries is a little bigger for this week since we’re having a birthday party this week for our daughter so it’s a little more than normal but I think I did pretty good with all of the coupons and deals. Here’s how it broke down:
Copps
32 Items (including 4 lbs. of crab legs, 10 packs of hamburger buns, ice cream, fruit, hot dogs, pizzas & cereal plus a few other misc. items)
Total Regular Cost: $99.79
What I paid after coupons: $50.93
Festival Foods
31 Items (including 15 pizzas for my picky husband, cereal, hot dogs, bologna, lunchables-normally I wouldn’t buy these but they were only $1 so I got 2; cheese & butter)
Total Regular Cost: $95.28
What I paid after coupons: $62.52
---------------------------------------------------------------
Total cost if I hadn’t used coupons: $195.07
What I actually paid: $113.45
What I saved: $81.62
Sooo… even though, the grocery trip is OVER double what I usually spend in a normal week, we did get a lot for freezing (pizzas, hot dogs, bologna, cheese, crab legs-YUM!) and hopefully we’ll be able to do another month coming up with only $10 trips to the stores again (those are great months!)
