I spent a total of $67 dollars and had $10 in coupons. I am new at coupons so this is very exciting for me! My total saving at publix this week was $44.02!!!We did stop at publix after church to pick up sandwich meat and a double paper. We used the mystery coupon and got a role of paper towels for .1! Then when I went back to stock up for the week, I got another roll for .1 (since I had two coupons from the double paper). I did forget butter and cat litter and I need contact solution, so I will have go to Walmart this week.
I used to never make a list, or use coupons. Now I do.
I have changed the way I do things to save money. For example:
I now but whole carrots and cut them up myself. I got a 3 lb bag on sale for .87! Much cheaper than buying the precut ones.
I also make Marley peanut butter crackers for her snack at school using saltines instead of buying premade crackers.
I love the buy one get one free sales at publix and I get excited when I can use a coupon too.
We only eat out once a week now, on Friday nights. The last two Fridays we were at birthday parties, but we did count them as eating out. I used to eat fast food at least two times a week, sometimes three. Now I have only had it once in two weeks.
I am not buying Coke products anymore. We are drinking more sweet tea and I have found a few store brands that I like (Dr. Publix).
I loved eating out on Sundays after Church. But now we stop at Publix on our way home and buy deli sandwich meat/cheese. I am getting used to it.
For dinner this week:
Sunday - Shrimp and pasta
Monday - Beef Stew
Tuesday - Pasta and Salad
Wednesday - Baked Chicken with Rice and Broccoli
Thursday - Country Fried Steak (deer) with Potatoes and Green Beans
Friday - eat out!!!
Saturday - we will cook something in the freezer

Hey Wendy, I saw you blog through Jennifer's. Looks great. You are a great dinner planner. I stink at that and go to the grocery store several times a week and hate it! Chekc out our blog
Okay, I am now totally sticking around your blog. Saving on groceries is one area I am lacking. I do try, but I don't see the savings you're getting!
Hey so proud you have joined us money saving people, fyi the carrots you bought in the past the little carrots for dipping are made of carrot pieces and they put a yucky coating on them ever wondered why they would look white glad you switched to the real thing.
