Continuing to Save!

Joey and I went to the grocery store by ourselves Friday night to do our weekly shopping. We had a babysitter, so we went out to eat and to the store....real romantic, huh? But it had to be done and it's so nice to do it in peace! Anyway, this was Joey's first time watching me obsess with coupons and I kept telling him what he could and could not get! Anyway, at the end of the Publix trip, I spent $61 and saved $58! Joey was so excited! Then, when I got to my parents house yesterday for the Halloween festivities, I saw what great deals Kroger had this week, so I went there too. I spent $19 and saved $32!!! So, my spending for the week was about $80 and my savings for the week was $90! The best part is that our freezer and pantry are stocked full!!! (How many exclamation marks can I use in one post?!) This coupon thing is addicting; it really is. We went to CVS today and I got 6 12 packs of Coke, a pack of pull ups, a pack of razors and the movie ICE AGE (for Tripp's Christmas) and I spent $30. I would have only spent $25, but I ended up not being able to use my mom's CVS cashback. :-( But, we got the movie for free, so it was worth it. It's crazy what can be bought for next to nothing when you use coupons. I love it and plan on continuing it; however, we did have to go to Target and buy a shelving system for our basement because we now have more food than our pantry can hold. That's what happens when you start stockpiling. You run out of room!
