Before Sale price or coupons this would have cost $249.99
I was able to get it all for $52.90
Plus I still have $15.50 in catalina coupons to use like cash
It’s been kind of a slow coupon week, but I didn’t do too bad after all!
Albertsons $18.29
Costco $27.59


Plus I got all these Fruits and Veggies Free from my yard and the Garden


If you are new to my site, I know you are wondering how I feed my family on the items I purchased for the week. Well I do not shop like a “Normal” person I stock up on the times that are at their lowest price point for the week. I bring them home and add them to my Pantry which is full of items that I use to make my families menu. My freezer is stocked with meat, so between the pantry and the freezer I do not really “NEED” to buy anything. Which allows me to only purchase things at a price that I am happy to pay. Of coarse I have to buy my perishable items every week, like milk eggs and veggies.
Once again it goes to show that having Multiple Sunday papers for coupon inserts and for Doubles, really pays off. This has been the secret to my saving buying multiple Sunday papers and for only $13 a month it is totally worth it!

We bought a pack of TP at Costco back in December when…..It has lasted us this long. We must not use very much compared to other familys…because it seems to last us FOREVER!!!

I never see toilet paper on your budget review. Did I miss the time you totally stocked up or is that something you usually get at Costco? What is your preferred brand & price point? I wait till Angel Soft 12 double rolls is about 3.50 or so at Albertsons and I get a few packages. I wonder if I will ever get a good stock pile…
I am new to this whole coupon savings and I am trying to follow everything you do. One question to you is what are “Catalina” coupons?
Keep up the good work!
Well that is very sweet Lisa, most days I feel like anything but that…so thanks, you made my day!
You are amazing…seriously – my hero!
