Scott says I have a new obsession (this time I agree, unfortunately). But it is saving us a boat load! I paid $3.58 for all of this: 11 boxes of pasta and 4 roma tomatoes.
I always clipped coupons, but I was the person who looked through them every 5-6 trips I made to the store only to find that they were all expired. I have started following various coupon websites and blogs, and have started matching up sales at the store with my coupons. The trick is to try to get multiple coupons (mom saves the adds for me from the paper, I print them off the web, etc).
I must give credit where due:
The Krazy Coupon Lady
Money Saving Mom
The Coupon Queen, who may have a weekly column in your newspaper (she does in mine, and started this craziness for me!)
Above, Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta sells for $2.49 a box. They had them on sale for $1, and I had 11 $.75 off coupons. Each box only cost me 25 cents! And those who know me well know I love pasta, so this will eventually all get eaten.
Now, I need to hunt around for some sauce on sale and I'll be all set!

It must be a Mom thing because I don't buy anything without a coupon. In fact, I stockpile. My husband calls my stockpile "the bunker" because it is in the basement. And, yes, we do eat it! Just so you know you are in good company, I have a similar post coming on my latest grocery shopping adventure. It IS amazing what you can save!
You should check out www.Forthemommas.com too.
Maybe you and Jill should give me a lesson in Coupons 101. I have never used them (except Gymbucks) and wouldn't even know where to start! :) Can we do a GoToMeeting?? ;)
