Here is the breakdown of what I spent and saved:

Total before coupons and Club Savings: $32.07

Total Out of Pocket: $10.06* PLUS, I got back $2.00 in catalina's to spend on my next trip

Giant: (Pasta, Ragu, Bread, Chips, Instant Pudding, Yogurt, Ground Turkey, Candy, Iced Tea--but I drank that on the way home!)

My weekly budget is $40 and under, so I did pretty good!

Hi Everyone--

I just started blogging at my website: 

www.frugalistainpa.blogspot.com

I am really excited, as I am going to share ways to save money at the grocery store and other stores as well!  Please check out my blog and let me know what you are interested in seeing!  I want it to be user friendly and most importantly, user helpful and save everyone money!

Since I started using coupons, I have slashed our weekly grocery bill from $100 a week to under $40 a week, and that includes formula (Similac) and diapers (Pampers)!!!
