The Power of Coupons

So I'm not going to go into detail of every coupon I use, but this just goes to show you that taking the time to look through the Sunday paper can definitely pay off. Check it out:

Why yes, I did save over $70 (19%!) off my grocery bill! I only make one big trip a month, so this consisted of coupons I got from the last 3 Sunday papers as well as some I had printed (for free!) online.

I never really use coupons anywhere other than the commissary. So for you military ladies, you have no excuse! The commissary for the most part is cheaper than other grocery chains, and you don't need to track specific sales. I just clip what I know I'll use, and use them all at the same place - not a crazy amount of planning needed.  I usually save 15-20% off our bill each month - that adds up over time!

The extra bonus is that we are now set until the wedding, and since we will be in HAWAII for a month we will not need to do any June grocery shopping! I'd say this would save us money but I'm sure we will blow it all and more in Honolulu!
