well the only thing i have spent so far was
party supplies for ds's valentine party $5.00
3 rolls wrapping paper (i was all out of b-day paper) $3.00

so far so good...

I've done pretty well...

Ingles: $7.58 (Total before coupons: $28.75)
Kroger: $29.35 (Total before coupons: $101.26)
Publix: $23.62 (Total before coupons $38.75)

I stoked up on a lot of good sales. This also includes all of our meat for the next week or two. I used to spend $100 or more on groceries EVERY WEEK for me and dh to eat one meal a day and an occassional snack. I love the wonderful world of couponing.

AWESOME SAVINGS!!!! 3 days into Feb and I have spent $0. I'll prob spend about $10 on Monday though, I need to go get Valentine's Day stuff (Dollar Tree, here I come!)

Would love to join, already screwed though, just took the car in $300.00! As for reg. spending 0 yesterday so far today $8.00 on a toy for a classmates (son) B-Day party. Still have to grocery shop!

I wish I could save that much!! Is that using double coupons? None of our local stores will double coupons and most won't even take the ones you print off the interent! When I used to work at a grocery store we would take expired coupons up 6 months after the date. Our stores won't take them the day after they expire........I have to say I rarely use coupons becuase they don't save me very much.

I spent 36 at the grocery store and that's it so far for February.

Can I just say WOW!! Can you tell us how you do it. The most I can ever save is like $10 for $100.00 grocery bill. Please tell.


Ok so far this month:

Snacks for kids movie night at house $4.12
Walmart groceries $19.22
Filled up Gas in Van $40.00

Not bad considering gas will last me 1 1/2 to 2 weeks and groceries probably through middle of week. Then only having to but bread, milk and eggs.

Feb- 3 Grocery Day - 112.00 for 2 weeks
Feb-4 Walmart 3 picture frames and pictures developed for a gift 12.00


Week total 112+12+32(from days prior) = 166.00 for first week

(Not all that good since we have 250.00 budgeted for gas/food/spend in 2 week period)

We spent $5.00 last night at a Superbowl party so DH could "gamble" with the boys. I hate spending money on stuff like this but he had fun, and it was cheap entertainment.
Other than this we had a frugal weekend. Groceries tomorrow though so I will take a look first and only buy necessities (I hope)
