I was feeling a little discouraged the other night. Went over a few bucks on our grocery bill for the week. Even though God is teaching me savings (we budget $60 a week for groceries--or anything you would buy at a grocery store like wipes, diapers, etc.)...but Publix is doing a GREAT promo with Progresso right now, so I thought I would borrow from another category and go ahead and stock up on some things at such great prices! I knew the coupon combos would create some good deals, so I set a budget of $7-10 for my splurge.Here's what I got:
- 20 (YES TWENTY) cans of Green Giant corn (some of which will go to the church pantry)
-2 cans of orange rolls
-1 can of cinnamon rolls
-1 coffee creamer
-2 cans of Progresso black beans
-1 can Progresso northern beans
-6 cans of soup
- 2 cartons beef broth
-2 Muir tomatoes
-2 Muir tomatoe sauce
-and 2 packages of bread crumbs
TOTAL SAVED: $67. 59
................................................................and now for my total out of pocket.......................................
$0.13!!!!!!! Not kidding! THIRTEEN CENTS! Personal best! I was shocked-so was the cashier! God is so good and I am thanking him for continuing to bless our desire to use all he has given us wisely. We are still learning :) but its moments like this that encourage me in the journey!
I actually did a bell kick(old dance jump) in the parking lot!

I am completely impressed! Great job, Mama! I heart, I heart publix! You really got some great deals!
Just be careful with the pitfalls of coupon shopping... I quickly learned to avoid things that I wouldn't otherwise buy without the coupon/sale. And remember, the most healthy foods you can't buy with coupons- fresh fruit, veggies, and meat! :-)
Now THIS is inspiring! Ben said he had a great talkwith you the other day! I miss you- you are such a dear friend to me even though we don't get to catch up much ! :) I just started on Publix- ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I drive 45 min to get to one!
