My Savings!

Okay, so since October I have been big into couponing and I was just so excited about my last trip to the store I just had to share it! I had a HUGE cart full and when I went to check out I was getting nervous about how much it was going to cost. Well, the total came to $220.88 and I started to sweat, so I handed over my fresh values card and the total dropped to $117.84 so I started to feel a little better. Then, I handed over my huge stack of coupons and the total came to a whopping $74.16!!! I was so excited! That is a 67% savings!!! I saved $143.32! This is what I got!

2 loaves of bread
1 gallon milk
apples, romaine lettuce, cucumber
1 can enfamil formula
4 bags shredded cheese (for the freezer)
2 bags mission tortillas
5 bags lunch meat
8 yogurts
4 boxes capri suns
6 boxes kleenex
3 bags solo plastic cups
1 bag solo plastic bowls
1 sour cream
5 boxes cereal
3 apple juice
1 grape juice
4 boxes kraft mac n cheese
4 boxes delux mac n cheese
5 boxes quaker chewy granola bars
4 boxes fiber one granola bars
10 sobe life waters
1 box of butter sticks
2 cans green chilis
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 can cocoa
2 hershey bars
4 philadelphia cream cheese(for the freezer)
and I think that is it...I got 89 items for $74...that only $0.83 per item. I highly recommend using coupons!


Now on to my favorite little man!
