Fun Friday Weekly Menu (What we’re eating from these groceries!)
Great deals! You have some wonderful prices where you live. I have seen other bloggers post deals from those three stores before (we don’t have those ones, not do we have double coupons) and I’m always amazed at the prices.
Thanks for commenting Brandy! It is nice to be able to take advantage of sales.
Kim, I know how you feel. I check out a lot of shopping successes and many times I can’t duplicate their deals. My area doesn’t have double coupons, and the grocery stores in other areas seem to have better deals. Also, the coupon inserts in my newspaper aren’t as generous as they seem to be in other areas.
The only thing that I can do about it is to do the best job that I possibly can, given my limitations, and not to compare my success unfavorably to others.
Kimberlee, great job! I love all your pics. I used to do that, but then I got more disorganized. I will have to start doing that again!
Please come link your shopping successes at Wednesday Weekly Shopping at Frugal Follies as well! Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for posting your totals. They are very reasonable. You
are saving money but also purchasing fresh and healthy foods. I also have a family of six. With one in diapers, so my totals are a little higher. Quite frankly, when I read some other shopper’s posted totals; I get a little
depressed. They seem so unbelievably low. I’ve been couponing for 20 years. I know all the tricks of the trade – matching with sales, stockpiling,
stacking coupons, EB @CVS, etc.. But I still wonder how I can’t ever get
my total as low as some people claim to. Anyway, thanks Kimberlee for
“keeping it real” and always for the great tips.
