Okay, I just can't help but share my awesome shopping trip today. It totally pumped me up! I try to keep our grocery bill to about $160 a month including diapers, which comes about to about $40 a week. It was always doable, but now that I've started couponing and watching the sales, our pantry is super stocked and I get fun goodies like a 12 pack of Coke
for free! Here's a picture of my loot today. My total ended up being $24.00 and $3 of that was Mother's Day cards that isn't included in my grocery budget. So, I have money left over to get a bag of frozen fruit at Costco for green smoothies and milk for Maddox later on in the week!
Included above:
6 boxes of cereal
TONS of bananas
Lettuce
Broccoli
Mayo
12 pk of Coke
2 8 packs of bottled water
6 Power bars
4 lbs of strawberries
Loaf of bread
Dishwashing detergent
Dishwashing rinse (it was free)
Organic crackers
Can of garbonzo beans
1/2 gallon of silk soy milk

You got all of that for 24 bucks?!
Wow, That is great shopping. Where do you get all the coupons from? We only have them in our Sunday papers, here.
So, that is a great deal - but what do you eat for dinner? There doesn't seem to be enough food to eat for a week! The only reason I ask is because I want to get our weekly grocery bill down - but can't figure out what to cut out.
Do you guys have a separate budget for eating out or something?
