So every Monday on Channel 2 News the "Grocery Guru" tells you what screaming deals are out there. He then takes 25 callers to go shopping with him. They get to shop and he takes care of all the coupons. He gives you ideas for what to have to eat that week. He also says that he can get a weeks worth of meals for a family of four -- around $35.00. So I called in and hoped that I would get to go and join the fun! These are ALL the items that I was able to get shopping with him.
He gave a new outlook on coupon cutting. Instead of taking the time to cut all the coupons take the coupon packet and do a three ring punch and place in binder ONLY cut them out IF you are going to use them. Also don't hop from store to store shop and base your meals on the sales at your favorite store that week.
Some of the great sales I got today were: Cheese, Pulled pork, Eggs, Milk, bread, bananas, strawberries and you can't forget the Dark Chocolate!
What you see in the photo is what I was able to buy for for less than $ 42.16. I bought 44 items and was able to save $ 48.72 (according to what they would have normally charged.)
Also while I was there I met a gal who suggested using the site grocerysmarts.com. Check it out She also recommended sheshopssmart.blogspot.com -- Both are on my side money saving bar.
