No, there is nothing really going on, that I know of, BUT, I do look forward to getting my Sunday papers and clipping coupons. This is the new thing around this house, and we have only been doing it a few weeks, but I really enjoy it, and I enjoy going to the grocery store now. Before, I HATED going grocery shopping. I more than hated it. Detest isn't even a strong enough word to describe how I felt about it. Now...Now it is the highlight of my week. Sad, I know. Even more sad, We are not really bringing in big hauls, we have not dropped our grocery bill to 14 dollars, and we don't have a "stock pile" but what we have done is save over 40 dollars a week, and to me, that is fun. I know, easily amused.
Our first coupon adventure was to the local Kroger, and that was not bad. I figured we would spend a lot more than what we did, but we didn't. I think before my Kroger Plus card and my coupons, the total was almost 200 bucks, and then after everything was scanned, it was around 150ish?
We have since decided that our primary grocery store will be H-E-B in Atascocita. It is a little further to drive, but well worth it.
Now, I do have a friend who is also couponing, and she has gotten some great deals. Even gotten stuff for free! We have not gotten anything for free, but we have gotten some good deals. Like a 12 dollar razor for 2 dollars, an expensive tube of toothpaste for 1.47...stuff like that. I do plan on getting more into it, and trying to get it all figured out, as it seems that Leslie has. She just got 12 boxes of fruit roll-up and 28 boxes of cereal for less that 40 bucks! Hello, when is the last time you seen the price of cereal? That crap is expensive. I don't have any clue what I would do with 28 boxes of cereal, but I could sure use the fruit roll-ups. The kids love them, and I could have gotten some cereal, and spent less money. lol. Then on top of it all, she got like 15 dollars off of her NEXT trip. That is AWESOME!
I know, it's the silly things that make me so excited. I will try to keep ya posted as to how it is all working out.

LOL!!! What I didn't tell you was I already have 12 boxes of froot loops and 12 boxes of raisin bran already here. Angie went to the heb in summerwood and got cereal for like 12 cents a box. I want to go back so bad!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as it being silly? My favorite days are now Sunday and Tuesday. Sunday for coupons and walgreens/cvs ads and Tuesday nights for groc store ads. We can be sick and twisted together!
