My husband just stood there with his mouth open like you did not just save almost a hundred dollars....it was funny. If you break it down I paid under a dollar for each item although there were several items that were free after coupons. I did go over my weekly budget but with the double coupons I am willing to go a little over.



Last week I hit a great boneless chicken breast sale and purchased seven packages of chicken for $18 bucks. We eat chicken at least once a week so we should be good for nearly two months! My goal is to live off of our stockpile this winter and not to have to go grocery shopping except for staple items like Milk and bread. I have asked for a bread maker for Christmas so maybe I will get it and I can start making my own bread which will be even more savings.



I don't know how everyone else is doing but working in the building/development industry is really slow right now so I need the comfort of knowing if work gets cut back we are okay for a few months on groceries. I would love to hear ways you guys are cutting back or your coupon savings deals. Good luck and happy bargain hunting!!!!
