This may not look too impressive until I tell you that he spent 69 cents for it (95% savings).- 1 roll foil
- 1 roll plastic wrap
- 1 box of potatoes
- 2 seasoning mixes
- 20 string cheese
Wow! I was impressed. The bigger trip looked like this...
- 9 twelve packs soda
- 4 nine rolls paper towels
- 10 salad dressings
- 4 dishwashing liquid
- 3 boxes Wheat Thins
- 2 boxes dishwasher tabs
- 3 boxes (45 ct) trash bags
- 5 boxes freezer bags
- 4 pouches potatoes
Retail was $210 - DH spent $65 - for a savings of 69%!
He's back baby...
Okay, where is he shopping and how does he get his info? Is he doing the thing where he gets a bunch of newspapers? How many does he get?
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to do the maybe not extreme but advanced couponing to save money and so far I have only been able to get to the point of saving 47% on one trip. Granted, not bad since that was my first attempt but still I always feel like I'm missing the big deals.
Though it would help if MY DH would go along with the couponing. I tell him how I think it's smart not to get a lot of stuff unless you have coupons for it. We go to the store to buy three things while I shop for D's birthday present. He comes back with the whole stroller filled of groceries that I know we have coupons for back home. Ugh!!!
We get 10 newspapers every Sunday for $1 each at Menards. We do price matches at Walmart and he uses coupon databases online. His favorites are http://www.stlmommy.com and http://www.becentsable.net.
DeleteWow, 10. I only get one so far but I want to get more if we ever move out into a bigger place. Right now we couldn't really stockpile anything.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try those sites. Lately, I've been using http://thekrazycouponlady.com. It's pretty good. Though I think my problem is that I'm always shopping just at Kroger here when maybe I should go to Wal-mart, too.
Wow that is some amazing savings!!! Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing savings. I wish I could do that well. But I don't have storage space either.
