Cutting Costs

Well, my good friend Linda is helping me learn the ropes with clipping coupons. It really does help. She came over last night and helped me make a list and sort coupons to get the most from the current Albertsons add. We went shopping last night, and I went again today, and for the two days together, I spent a total of $87.99 with savings of $153.67 from coupons/instore sales! I can't believe it. My pantry is stocked. If Albertsons had all of the items in stock today, I would have gotten more. My lowest receipt was $1.04 which included a 24 pack of Coke that was on sale for $7.99. I ran out of ink printing off coupons, but it is really helping and will help me cut costs within our family. I still have a lot to learn and have to be careful on spending, but I'll get it. A big thanks to Linda and Aunt Laurie!!!
