Can You Guess How Much This Cost


It's been about three weeks since I committed myself to learning
how to save money while grocery shopping. I am now addicted
to saving money on groceries. I've watched myself get things
for free that normally I would have paid for...this process still
amazes me. I wanted to share my last shopping trip with you all.

I had $18.00 in register rewards that I used.

I paid $35.36 for all these items.
I saved $55.95 (Not counting the items that I got for free.)
and I walked away with $12.00 in register rewards to use on future purchases.

Not a bad shopping trip if you ask me.

The best shopping trip that I've done so far took place on Monday when I purchased $60.00 of diapers for only $10.00.

If any of you want to learn how to do this, I'm hosting a coupon class. Let me know if you are interested in coming.

Happy I'm saving money,
Becky
