I have a new love

So, when we moved here we got together with an old friend of mine from Young Life.  During our talk and time together we somehow got to talking about grocery stores and coupons.  She is a great believer in coupons and knows how to use them correctly...she somewhat follows the grocery game (www.grocerygame.com).  The whole goal of this "game" is to buy items at their lowest price with a coupon and almost/if not get them for FREE!  I was pretty curious so she explained.  I have been getting the Sunday paper and cutting coupons for the past few weeks.  It does take a little while to get a stock pile, but I'm working on it!  Our local grocery store is doing "triple" coupons this week-meaning that all manufacturer coupons are triple what advertised.  Ryan and I went to the store today, loaded our cart (according to what coupons we had) and a few other essentials and headed to the check-out lane.  As the items rang up our total got close to $80.00 but as each coupon got tallied our total began to diminish!  We walked out of the store with almost $90.00 worth of groceries for under $40.00!!!  We were super excited.  One day we will spend even less once I have the hang of things, but we were pretty stoked!!!  

I know this seems kinda silly to be excited about, but when you know you can save like this it is a lot of fun to figure out what to buy and when!!!  Thanks, Liz!  You are awesome!
