Thanks Mom!

So a week or so ago, my mom called & told me about an article she saw in the paper about a website that will help save lots of $$ on groceries. I finally got some time & was able to look the site up! I have to say I was a bit sceptical because it costs $5/per month to use the website. But it offers a 4 week trial for $1. So Matt & I decided to give it a shot. So last night we went through the various stores for Lehi (Smith's & Albertsons) & figured out when we needed to buy. We then went through the coupons that we had on hand & decided to hope for the best.

This morning Nathan & I went grocery shopping. I am actually really surprised with how well we did!

Just at Smith's & Albertsons I spent $38.28 on groceries that normally would have cost $93.84! I can't believe I got away with almost a 66% savings!!!!

This is what I bought:

2 boxes fruity cheerios

1 box trix

2 boxes Cinnamon toast crunch

3 boxes pop tarts

5 boxes stuffing

1 bottle corn syrup

3 boxes ziploc gallon bags

2 apple juices

2 bags frozen peas

4 bags marshmallows

1 box oven bags

3.85lbs of red grapes

Now if I add the things I got at Wal-mart with a few coupons I spent a total of $66.81 for what would normally cost about $130!

At wal-mart I bought:

3 pkgs Jello

2 zucchinis

2 tubs cool whip

1 lrg. Tostito cheese chip dip

4 boxes Chex cereal

1 lrg bag Cheetos

2 jars of cooking cocoa

2 boxes wheat Ritz

1 small bag of m&m's (Nathan's treat)

This is only the first time that we've used this site...but I think we'll keep it up!

Thanks GranDee!!!
