Amber's Grocery Shopping 1/18- 2/1

We get paid every other Friday and so  I usually do 2 big shopping trips a month and go to the store if we run out of fresh produce or milk. This was a busy day and a larger shopping trip than usual, but because we have been stocking up on basics when they are at their bottom low price, I was able to stick to my budget and get some really awesome stuff! For those of you new to couponing, I use Grocerysmarts.com which has each store listed and where you can find the coupons. We get 2 Sunday papers every week and that is plenty for our family of 4. When I can save money on household goods and fun snacks, it frees up my budget to do most of our shopping at Whole Foods.

  1. Dude! You got so much stuff for that price! We really need to get together and have you give me a coupon 101 course, I'm way impressed with you deals.
    Also, smart pants Taylor....why didn't I think of that?
    Off to do my shopping in a bit- I'll have to check out that coupon website first.

  2. Let's do a phone class on couponing soon! First thing you need to do though is subscribe to a Sunday paper for your coupons. It is usually good to get one paper per family member, but I just get 2 for now and that is enough.
