Catching Up!!!!

I truly don't know where the time has gone....it's been forever since I've blogged!!

Our main focus here at the G's, C's and R house has been on saving money and holding on to it the best we can. This includes matching coupons to store ad's in order to get the highest savings possible. I belong to a program called
"Coupon Sense" that helps save time and energy in the matching. I also purchase 3 newspapers each sunday to take full advantage of the deals, for our size of a family.

Here was what our small trip to the grocery store looked like from last night:

Fry's

Prego Spag Sauce $2.17
FR Mozz Cheese Sticks $8.49
Digiorno Pizza $4.99- Coupon $1.00 off

10 Items Sold
Total Before coupons: $55.68
Total Coupons: $22.22
Total After Coupons: $33.46

I would have not bought the pushups unless I had a coupon, but M did this shopping trip so I can't be too upset...but next time I'll make sure he has a coupon for those extras.

I'll have more savings to post today or tomorrow.

What are you doing to save money in your household??
