the Outcome

Triple coupon shopping was yesterday.  I must say I did a good job.   I actually feel more successful than my last time.  I bought two weeks of groceries for $158.  I saved about $75 by using the sale ad and my coupons.  I probably could of saved more had I read the coupons a little more carefully.  I made out a good list this time.  But keeping the couons, researching the sale as ahead of time and looking for everything in a store I am not familiar with does take a lot of time.  I will still need to go to the store in the next week or so, we will need more bread and milk, and I guess we should feed the dogs too!  But overall I am proud of my purchases, I got cleaning products, 2 gallons of milk, cereal and enough meat for 2 weeks!  If we can stay at spending $75 a week on groceries for a family of three that will be great.  I know that is a little on the impossible side but it is nice to dream!  The groceries I have to get in the meantime will probably come from BiLo,  they still are giving you 5 cents off of every gallon of gas when you spend $50.  That helps out as well!  I am going to try and stay thrifty!
