Over Due

Okay, I know that this post is long over due, we have been really sick at our house and I just haven't felt up to posting or doing much of anything.

So, I have started using coupons for grocery's. In light of everything that is happening with the economy and what not, I feel that it is time for me to step up and get my food storage in order. Now that I have put my mind to it, I am amazed at how fast it's coming along. I have to get more shelving units to put everything in! So I discovered this site The Obsessive Shopper, that is teaching me how to do this. I have also been using the Everyday Food Storage to teach me how to use food storage, especially wheat.

On to my Grocery Shopping. I went to Albertson's, on my lunch break and was in and done in less than an hour. Granted, everything does go faster when you don't have kiddies with you.

Shawn didn't want me to take a picture (he hates stuff on the counter, even for a few minutes), but here's the list:

2 Cans Tomato Soup
5 Boxes Popcorn
3 Boxes Crackers
3 Boxes Golden Grahams
3 Boxes Trix
3 Boxes Kix
6 Tubs Frosting
4 Cookie Mixes
6 Boxes Muffin Mix
4 Bottles Ketchup
6 Cans Rotel
6 Cans Pork n' Beans
2 Bottles BBQ Sauce
5 Bottles Kraft Dressing
5 Boxes of Pudding
2 Egg Beaters
10 Heathy Choice Dinners

Paid $76.04
Savings $132.82
Saved 64%

Shawn was really sceptical of me getting all the coupons and accused me of just hoarding them all, but when I came home with all of this, he was okay with it all. I just saved enough to pay for my newspapers for the rest of the year and then some!

I am getting better at this and I will try and keep you guys posted on everything!

Something Fun

So, I have been a little lazy at work and so I did some blog snooping. Found this great site off of a MSN article. I was laughing hard at the article and especially the comments. The Simpsons crack me up! But it goes along with what we have all been trying to do which is eating healthier while spending less money on our grocery bills.
