Homeland from 3-16-11
 Spent $14.77 - Saved $36.47  Pretty good when you consider that there are 5 packages of meat in that purchase!

Back to blogging - and couponing

I'm back to couponing again.  We are saving a TON on groceries!  I have been posting to my facebook page, but want a way to track spending/savings better, so here I am again.

I follow the Consumer Queen blog.  She is local and posts the deals and coupons that I can actually do.  So far, I'm couponing at Homeland, CVS and Walgreen's.  I hope to add Wal-Mart and Target soon.

Tonight for dinner we are having a meal with ingredients purchased with coupons.  Ronzoni pasta was FREE, Johnsonville Italian Sausage was $2.29, Bertolli Pasta Sauce was $1.25 each (used 2).  Steamed broccoli $0.99, part of a package of frozen asparagus $0.99.  Total cost for the meal for 4 people was $6.77 or $1.69 each.  We will have enough for leftovers too - yay!

I plan to post pictures of shopping trips & receipts to track savings and spending.
