Ok - so me and my neighbor, Bridget have a weekly ritual on Tuesday night to go out and hit up Bilo and Publix and buy the weekly sales specials before they go off sale.  This is what I purchased tonight:

My total BEFORE COUPONS was $489.22.  My total AFTER COUPONS and SALE DISCOUNTS was $88.11.  That is a discount of $401.11!!  That is an 82% DISCOUNT.  I usually spend less than $50 a week on my family of 5 and we eat at home like Kings.  All of my cabinets are full.  I have 2 refridgerators/freezers that stay full; as well as a upright freezer that is packed down.  I believe in purchasing items with coupons when they are on sale so I can save MORE money.  This is one of the things that I teach in my coupon class.  Just think.....pretty soon this could be your grocery haul!
