312$ Worth of Groceries for 79$!

I went shopping today armed with a fistful of coupons and I got some great deals! I really love coupons, can't you tell? I can't believe I ever paid full price for anything. The crazy thing is, I used to go to Walmart and spend atleast 140$ every week and that would last us about 4-5 days, usually not even that long because I bought a bunch of junk that I thought I needed. So on top of that, we would resort to eating fast food atleast 4 times a week. I am a much better shopper now I must say. Anyways, here are my steals and deals for this week!

I love shopping at Albertson's. You do know the trick to shopping at Albertson's right? They except all competing grocery store coupons. So if you have stores in your area that put out coupons on a regular basis (like I do) you can get some great savings all at one store! I use the $5 off $50 purchase coupons in my entertainment book from other stores (some nowhere near where I live) at Albertson's. My store let's me use one for every $50 so if I spend $150 (before coupons) I could use 3!
Albertson's is great if you know how to work it. It can save on extra trips to other stores, which saves gas in your car which equals more money saved!

I'm a newbie to all of this and all I can say to your shopping is wow! I had to pull my hubby over to show him the stuff you got! Wonderful and very inspiring to us newbies!

Thanks Vickie, too bad we don't live closer because we could tear some stores up, lol!

I don't believe my Albertson's takes competitors coupons deann. I asked them if they took the Walgreens register rewards and the store manager told me no =(

I'm glad you like reading about my deals sonya, keep on reading and you will be a pro too in no time!

Fantastic shopping! I wish my stores doubled $1 coupons, but I realize I am lucky they will double up to .99.
