Shhhh...It's A Secret

This morning with a pile of coupons in hand and 4 kids in tow I dragged them around my FAVORITE grocery store. I had spent the night before search websites, the grocery stores ad and comparing it to my stock pile of coupons. By sticking to my list I was able to STOCK UP on shampoos, soap, toothpaste, box desserts and the Kid-o's snacks (a must have for the summer).

And the grand total is....

I spent $42.

I saved $45.

A few of you asked HOW?

Besides having a little elf deposit PILES of the newspaper Parade packet that includes that weeks coupons in the Kitchen at our church building, printing coupons from here, here and here, I have also started depending upon DIGITAL coupons.

What are those?

Those are coupons you can load on to your grocery stores saving cards that dangle from your keys!! Who knew they could be so valuable? So stop letting your toddler use for a chew toy and check out here, here and here.

The best part is that not only can you use store sales, paper coupons and digital coupons all for the exact same product, BUT you can use a duplicate coupon from any of the digital coupon websites that might be for the same product!

Resulting in something that looks like this. The "BC Choc Cake" (aka: Betty Crocker Warm Delight Cupcakes) was normally $1.89. I had a $.10 off from the grocery store and 2 $.50 off from the internet. Resulting in paying $.79 for them. That's worth a little FHE dessert.

Besides the fact my grocery store had all L'oreal products "buy one get one free". Plus I had 4 $.75 coupons. Because even though one of the shampoos were free I still got to use a coupon for it!

I hope this inspires all of you. To save as much as you can!! Good luck!
