but I'm gonna! Coupon update. Here is my year to date savings at Publix. This is the store I shop at 90% of the time...I do hit up CVS every week, but it's a lot harder to track my savings b/c of the way their receipt reads. I also go to Target, Wallie world, and BJ's every so often to get things that don't go on sale or to check prices on expiring coupons that I'd like to use.
As of today (remember just Publix here):
Merchandise Total: $899.35
Out of Pocket: $372.53
Saved: $526.82
That's 59% savings on my groceries so far this year!
It's so good to have most of the food we use regularly on hand plus some. We easily have 1 1/2 - 2 months worth of food in the house and our goal is to have 4 months. I generally spend $150 every 2 1/2 weeks - including diapers and baby stuff I still need.
Sorry for those of you who don't live in J-ville. You can still use coupons and I'm sure there are sites out there that will help you. Just start using Internet and newspaper coupons.
Today's shopping trip was the best in a while:
Merchandise Total: $124.54
OOP: $35.82
Saved: $88.72
Percentage: 72% savings today!
And here's what I got: 2 Lysol All Purpose; 2 Spray and Wash land detergent; 4 Yoplait kids yogurt; 1 ice cream; 2 24oz bags of frozen broccoli; 6 poptarts; 2 Kraft deluxe mac and cheese; 2 Life cereal; 2 betty crocker brownie mixes; 4 Muellers spaghetti; 3 Air filters for AC; 1 Tropicana OJ; 6 8oz Kraft shredded cheese; 1 Electrosal dish det; grapes; onions; strawberries; milk; sour cream.
COUPONING IS WONDERFUL!

YEAH!! Good job! My publix stuff on my blog was from last week's sales. Couponing is great, I can't believe how much money it is saving us - it's amazing!
Hi, Devon. This is Christy Astorga (from the marriage class). I ran across y'all's coupon site somehow. I was just wondering..where do you get all your coupons? I am really good with coupons when I have them, but we do not get the Sunday paper - are there other places or do you just rely on the paper?
You're doing excellent, Devon! I have really slacked off and need to get back on track. You and Melissa are definitely re-inspiring me :)
Thanks for some coupon info. I would love to know more - we are not going to be there this weekend as David is out of town. So, just curious...how early do you have to get a gas station to a Sunday paper on Monday? You can email me christy.astorga@gmail.com if it easier.
