I decided to venture out on my own last Saturday with my binder and shopping list in tow. I gave hubby a reprieve this particular day because I wanted to take my time and be able to look for bargains. With him, grocery shopping is a race to see how fast we can get done and get to the check out so he doesn’t miss anything on weekend TV. I needed some “me” time to get back in the groove of couponing. It didn’t take too long and if I do say so myself, I didn’t do all that bad! Before coupons, my total was $173.00 but what I paid OOP was only $99.30!! A savings of almost $74.00 and hopefully enough food to last us at least 2 weeks minus a few things we always run out of!
Oh, and last Friday we had to stop by Sack & Save to pick up some prescriptions and as always, hubby was in a hurry to get done and get out. I insisted we take the “long” way and walk the outer perimeter of the store which he will probably do from now on considering we picked up 3 nice steaks for 50% off what they would have cost! For us, that is at least 3-5 meals for less than $10.00! In fact, we are having steak for dinner tonight! I love a good bargain…
