This week I made a last minute trip to Publix to grab the first week of Italian Days deals.  With an hour to spare until the store closed and the ad ended, I still managed to find all the deals in stock!  We went to a different Publix in town that is mostly a college […]

    I have unpacked boxes until my fingers bled this week.  The joyful side of that is realizing how much we have blessed with, the truthful side is that we pack rats and need to seriously declutter our lives.  The pantry was the last thing I packed and the first thing I unpacked.  As I reorganized […]

      We managed to pull off our second week of no shopping except for a quick run to get milk.  I’m amazed at how much milk we go through and I think when we move we should get a cow… To help cover the cost of the milk I grabbed a few money maker south beach […]

        If you are just starting out with couponing the biggest frustration can be trying to figure out what a good sale price really is.   You have to learn the prices and really can’t trust sale tags or weekly ads to help you figure out the real deals.  As you get started using a buy price […]

          A little while ago we covered some basic ways to reduce your grocery budget by 30%.  Now that you’ve had two weeks to begin learning the drugstore systems and to focus on only grabbing deals that you’ll actually use… let’s tackle a little bit more of the budget. I mentioned last time to plan your […]

            This week was an off week for me.  Instead of shopping I basically went “un-shopping” and cleaned out every cupboard and pantry.  We are moving in a few weeks and for a stockpile grocery shopper this is a bit of an ordeal.  It’s amazing what can get pushed to the back of a bathroom cabinet.  […]

              Happy Friday!  After being nearly washed away yesterday, we spent today enjoying the beautiful sunny weather hiking in the woods.  I hope many of you enjoyed this gorgeous day after your rain/snow.  Shopping for us this week was pretty straight forward.  I hit Kroger for a ton of fruit thanks to a 4 day sale […]

                To coupon effectively you can’t go out and buy every deal you see.  The point is to save money yes, but in the end even deals that cost 25¢ still mean that you are spending money.  I want to encourage to learn to coupon inside of a set budget.  This means that if you have […]

                  This week I hit Walgreens and Publix.  My husband was sick all week, so my trip to Publix was just for a surge of Vitamin C and fresh produce.  I used a few coupons, but really didn’t buy much that had coupons available.  Walgreens though was a fun trip for the couponer in me. Publix: […]
