Hey guys, Sorry, I haven’t updated this in a little while. I have just been really busy lately. I hope to have some good entrees for you all again though. I wanted to set everyone up for a challenge. Something I am doing myself here. For a few weeks, I am docking all my grocery spending. We all know that I go to the stores for my grocery shopping Thursday and we all know, I have my weekly list and menu planned out. I typically go to 3-4 stores. I catch all the sales and match up all the coupons. Well I started writing down all my spending. I write down what I spent, how much I saved with sales, how much I saved with coupons and how much actual cash it cost me. I do this for each store. Then I total them all up for grand totals. I am going to try and beat my savings each week. So I will dig further for coupons, and better track them sales. So how about everyone try this for a few weeks. See how much you can save.

Today I went to three stores. My grand total would have been $ 216.10. I had $41.54 come off for sales. I had $13.70 come off for coupons. So I actually spent $160.86 for a grand total savings of $55.24

Next Thursday I will post my grand totals again. So how about you all try it with me. I hope to get more sales in there, and more coupons also! Wish me luck
