Last Minute Deal


I didn't get to the store this week until Tuesday (the last day of the sale-naughty). I was excited that I got everything I wanted, and wanted to share with you what I got.

I get lots of questions in my classes about the type of things I buy. This week, I was just picking up some staples: milk, eggs, bread, meat (enough for 5 meals for my family), fruits, cereal, yogurt. Most of these items are things don't have coupons, but by simply looking at the lists and deciding which store had my 'staples' on the best sale, I was able to save a bunch of money. Here's how it broke down:

Total Value of Items - $162.02
Store Club Savings - $58.54
Coupons - $19.25
Total Out of Pocket - $84.23

This is a savings of 48%!! Not bad for things I had to buy anyway!
