Super Doubles Trip #1

I unintentionally lied to a friend who is new to couponing. Apologies to you, 'Lois'! I honestly didn't think I was going to get to the store today. My husband popped in this afternoon and it gave me just enough time to run to the store before he had to head back out. 

Here is an example of what $35 in groceries looks like, retail prices, without sales and without coupons:

Now, if you have a store card at Harris Teeter and keep an eye out for their buy-one-get-one promos and weekly sales, you can stock up on things before you need them. Here is an example of what $35 in groceries looks like with sales but without coupons:

BUT if you shop the sales, plan for the Super Doubles events, and use coupons strategically, THIS is what $35 will get you:

That's two canisters of coffee, two bottles of extra-virgin olive oil, two half-gallons of milk, two half-gallons of chocolate milk, two packs of zipper bags, two bottles of shampoo, two packs of pepperoni, two tubs of really good salsa, one tub of butter spread, three packs of juice boxes, four jars of sunflower seeds, and a five-pound bag of grapefruit.
