    I live out of town so I only do a big shopping trip once every 2 weeks on pay days, So I never end up at a store just for a couple of things.
    But I crunched the numbers on my last shopping trip and I couldn't believe what I saved.

    Total product worth = $537.29
    Total OOP = $401.83
    Total store specials = $49.47
    Total coupons used = $85.99

    Total savings = $135.46 ( this will pay my power bill )

    This includes all the groceries that my family of 5 will need for the next 2 weeks and the fuel that I bought (so I could get to town and buy my groceries :D)

    It makes for a long day of actual shopping, but my couch shopping trips with a couple of flyers are proving well worth it

    I'm glad to see that i am not the only one spending hundreds on groceries even though i do use coupons. Sometimes i feel like i am doing something wrong
