I am still learning. Today I got the cereal at Safeway and the granola bars at Walgreens. Richard eats this cereal like candy while he watches TV. Richard has been so supportive of my new hobby.
This was my second day of couponing. This was from Bashas and Safeway. It looks like I am buying lots of Chex cereal, but I need it to make the Christmas treats that I send with Richard to the office. I bought 10 items for $15.58. That is an average of $1.55 an item. Here is the real breakdown.
Laura has been teaching me how to coupon. I had my first big day of couponing today. Adele and I went to Safford. We did some errands and then she let me do my couponing thing. She actually enjoyed helping me shop. I was grateful she let me take the time to do it. I did go to 4 different stores to collect this- Bashas, Dollar Tree, Safeway and Walgreens. I know it was not an amazing trip, but I did save 50%. The total bill was $30.57 for 21 items. That averages out to $1.45 per item. There are two bottles of hand soap that aren't pictured. I know others have done better, but I am just learning. Here is what I spent:
Cereal - $1.26
Biscuits - $1.15
Cookies\ Mix - $.66
Efferdent - $.25
Lysol - $.75
Gum - $1.75
Karo - $2.00
Candy - $1.95
Foaming Hand Soap (not shown) - $1.00
