Couponing Adventures!!

As our couponing adventures take flight we are excited to stop and take a second to share our last couponing adventure with you!
this is a step by step on how we take on the grocery store world!!

With careful preparation we start with our shopping list of the necessities and things we are runnig low on!
Then we proceed though our  fabulous coupon binder to see if any of the things on our list and sale ads match up.
If we see any matching coupons and sales that are too good to pass up we add those to our "take to the store" coupon pile. (we also seperate the "take to the store" coupons by the stores they match up to)
This process usually takes up to an hour. (Not bad for all the money your gonna save)

A GAME PLAN IS THE BEST PLAN!!

From there we place our coupons in our pencil holders (still seprated by store) that are in our binder.

Then its time to get fabulous!!! Looking good and feeling good toatlly helps when your taking on the grocery giant, also people are more willing to help you out when you look your best!!

Time to put our couponing to action by taking on the store.

This couponing adventure took us to two stores walgreens and safeway.

With our list and coupon binder in hand we headed out to SAVE SOME MONEY!!
At Safeway we purchased
3 cartons of buleberries, 2 garlic bread, 2 loafs of bread, 2 half gallons of Almond milk, 2 packets of shredded cheese, 3 packets of american cheese slices, 3 bags of frozen vegatables, a box of tissue, 4 jars of pasta sause, 4 boxes of brownie mix, 1 jar of salsa, 4 6 pack cans soads, 1 thing of ketchup and 4 small bags of goldfish snacks.
so for 36 items our total with out coupons would have been a wopping $114.66

with our coupons and just for you savings we only spent *$63.75
     * but that total didnt feel right
so before we left the parking lot we went over our receipt to make sure the coupons we had came off and sure enough they didn't so we went though our receipt and highlighted the coupons that should have been taken off. we took the receipt back to the checker manager and showed him where they missed our savings and with just scanniing through our recipt we got back $ 15.10.

so we really only spent $48.65 (wooo hoo)

with the $15.10 we saved.
we took that to walgreens and purchsed.
4 boxes of sugar free jello, 6 boxes of mac and cheese and 12 cans of soup
so for 22 items our total would have been $ 27.18

with our coupons we only spent $12.02*
        * wich we used the $15.10 dollars that we got back from safeway to pay for


an amazing ending to our fabulous couponing adventure!!
