Publix Trip 12/20
(not pictured- Nivea Lotion & 3 lip balms pictured below)
TOTAL SPENT: $22.29
($10.29 BEFORE 4 Packs of Coke)
TOTAL SAVED: $85.95
On a side note: You might notice the “Things purchased without coupons” section of my list. When I shop at a store I am actually shopping, just like any of you. Sometimes my husband is with me and purchases non-coupon items and that is counted into my grocery budget. When I need things but don’t have a coupon I count those still into my end total that I show you guys.
I don’t just summarize what I saved money on, I want to show you what is coming out of my grocery budget. I am just a normal mom/wife trying to save money on my family’s weekly grocery bill and I incur all of the extra expenses you guys do. I will never alter my totals with rebates or gift cards- I will show you exactly what came OUT OF MY POCKET at the time of sale.
Unavoidable expenses can be offset by saving money on items with coupons and sales. Stock up on the really good items that your family uses a lot to save money in the long run. Understand that to get the best deals you might have to go to multiple stores, but if you need something and don’t have time to go to another store, just bargain shop as best as possible and make the money up somewhere else.

I then used (1) $5/$25 this week! It wasn’t too bad- I purchased the 12 pack cokes so we can bring them to houses for drinks over the holidays. The $12/4 price was the best I saw this week and about average or a little under for 12 pack coke products.
