This weeks savings

Can I just say that if you haven't signed up yet for Coupon $ense (or are planning to at my party :) ) then you really need to. Coming up in the next few months are great deals on everything! Definately a good time to work on your food storage. Anyway, if you read what i got, you might think "Why so much?" it's called stockpiling. That's the key - when something is a great price, you buy as much as you think you might need for the next 6 months or year. Then you might say "Where do you put all that food?" Luckily I have a linen closet that is built out with shelves (along with some kitchen cabinets) but I know many people who put it under their beds, on the floor of a closet, etc. you can build shelves pretty much anywhere! FYI: you can go to http://www.50dollarstockpile.blogspot.com/ and she tells you all the great deals for the week to stockpile on that don't require any coupons. Check it out!
So here's what I got today.

4 1/2 gallons of milk
2 bags of red seedless grapes
2 16oz containers of cottage cheese
11lbs of London broil (have the butcher grind it into very lean hamburger)
12 boxes of Mac N Cheese
24 pkgs of Ramen Noodles
6 huge chicken breast (one could feed me and Wes)
6 yellow onions
2 2lb bags of carrots
20 Sobe Life Water
4 cups of Fiber One Yogurt
4 cups of YoPlus yogurt
6 cups of yoplait yogurt
2 loaves of Orowheat bread
2 cans of El Paso Refried Beans
2 boxes of Betty Crocker Gushers
2 boxes of Betty Crocker Fruit Rollups
5 boxes of Betty Crocker fruit snacks
2 boxes of Fiber One bars
3 boxes of hamburger Helper
5 boxes of Nature Valley granola bars
2 rolls of Pillsbury grands Biscuits
2 rolls of Pillbury crescents
4 rolls of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls
4 boxes of Trix cereal
1 box of Cocoa Puffs cereal
7 Betty Crocker cookie mixes
2 boxes of Betty Crocker brownie mix
25 cans of Progresso soup

Total: $117.52
Saved: $245.36
That's 67.6%

I know that's not as awesome as the last few times but that's mostly due to the fact that I bought so much meat and produce. It's great to buy so much cause you can always freeze it.
"Freeze grapes?" you might ask - Yes! They taste really good that way especially in the summer.

Save the Date! (No really, go mark it on your calendar before you forget)

So I decided to host my own Coupon Sense workshop. It will be on Tuesday September 29th at my house in the evening. So if you're interested in seeing how it all works and how to save a bunch of money, I'd love to have you come. There's no obligation to sign up, just come have a fun night away from the kids. :) I'll post more details in a few weeks as the date gets closer. Let me know if you have any questions before then.

Here I Go Again.. (I'm singing with the Whitesnakes)

I wanted to let you all know that my neighbor is hosting a Coupon Sense workshop on Thursday September 10th from 7-9pm. My instructor Kristin Huss will be showing how coupon sense works and asking any questions you might have. It's free and you're not obligated to sign up. So if you're interested in going, just let me know by September 8th.

Do I have you convinced yet? Some of you I do!

So here's another great shopping trip I had a few weeks ago that I forgot to post about. I want to show you all of my great deals weekly so that you don't think it's a one time fluke or it doesn't happen all that often.

I'm a believer... are you?

So i really might need to blog about this more often so that all of you will get as excited as i am! If you really need to save money and have about 4 hours a week to do so, then you really need to sign up for Coupon Sense with Kristin Huss as your instructor.

I don't get any money for telling you this I just want to share the joy!
It honestly only took my about 1.5 - 2 hours to cut the coupons from the Sunday paper and then file them. Then it only took me about 2 hours to shop today. I think that's time well spent!
