I coerced my husband to go with me and with grocery list in hand and coupon binder in tow, we made our way to Ralphs. Now keep in mind that no one really likes to go grocery shopping with me because I tend to spend way too much time in the store. I stroll the isles, find the products I need and then check prices, package size and then compare which is the better deal. This takes time and frankly my family would rather do other things.
Today, I'm sure my husband just wanted to get in and out. We walked in and right away, he wanted to know what was on the list so we could just grab and go. We pushed our way through the crowded store and picked up the items on the list that included: Ground cinnamon, a gallon of milk, a box of chocolate donuts, 2 containers of ice cream, 4 tubes of Pillsbury Crescent rolls, 2 tubes of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls, 9 boxes of Green Giant Frozen Vegetables, 4 boxes of General Mills cereal, 2-10 lb. bags of potatoes, 1 pkg. Rosemary, 1 stalk celery, 1 qt. Egg Nog. and a 19-lb. Turkey. I had my manufacturer coupons as well as my Ralphs coupons.
At the register, all scanned items rang up at $127.08. I made sure my husband saw that amount. Then the Ralphs Club Card brought it down to $53.73. Then my coupons brought it down even further to $39.43. My husband was very impressed and happy. So was I! I couldn't believe I bought what I did for less than $40.00.
I must say that as I sit and clip all the coupons each week, I ask myself, "Is this all worth it?" Well today made it all worth it. I just hope I can continue to save this much money each and every week.
Thank you to all who graciously hand their coupons over to me each week! My family and I appreciate it so much! Until next week....HAPPY CLIPPING!
