Grocery shopping day today. Some highlights.
1st store:
Lipton onion soup mix was 99 cents per box, and used .75/2 coupon. I still have some sour cream I bought from Target that were 2 cents each after coupons. Makes cheap onion dip! I bought some other things, mainly cheap canned goods, paid $10.57 for 11 items.
2nd store:
I had a rain check for Post cereal, $1.50 per box, and used $1/2 coupon makes them $1 per box. Got 6 boxes.
Cornish game hen (twin pack) is 99 cents this week, and I picked up the one priced $3.19. Used $2 off coupon, and the final price was $1.19 for two game hen. For some reason, I got a catalina for free Lysol wipes last time I was at the store, so I got it for free. Their store brand salad is BOGO and the price is $3.49. Used two $1 coupon and the final price is $1.49 for two bags of salad. I also bought 2 gallons of milk, a dozen eggs, etc.
All and all, my final spending for two stores was about $30.

I don't do Grocery Game because ladies in DAGG taught me everything I needed to know about couponing. (It looks like most of them moved to Hot Coupon World.) It saved me so much money.
Anyway, using coupons is now a habit for me. And, I know things we normally eat, so I only spot these items. For example, DH likes Cornish game hen. So, I clipped coupons and was waiting for them to go on sale. It wasn't much work for this one. Also, after couponing about a year or so, you will KNOW the prices of these items. I know how much I should spend on certain items.
