I'm not cooking tonight!

Like many of us Almost Frugal Moms we do like to go out to eat.  So why not use a Restaurant gift certificate.  Your able to go out to eat and you won't feel like your busting your budget.  If you put in the promo code: Chow you will only pay $2.00 for a $25 gift certificate.  Now that's a deal.

Saving Money at the Grocery Store

When I see a good sale I try to stock up on items I know my family will eat.  Well this week Publix was having a good sale on Pasta and Pasta Sauce and other Bogo items.  I'm posting a photo of the items I purchased this is for my friend Deborah!.

Ok, now here's what I got at publix.
1 gal milk
2 boxes Special K granola cereal
1 bag Boca Burger crumbles
2 bags Wise Cheese Doodle
2 Muir Glen Tomatoes
1 Progresso Bread Crumbs
6 Boxes Mueller's pasta Asst.
3 Cans Progresso Soups
1 Container Oikos yogurt

My total Cost before Coupons was $48.70 after all my coupons I spent $1.20 cents .  I saved a total of $47.50.

I was able to save this much because Publix will accept competitors coupons, manufacturers coupons and they have their own store coupons.  You can stack coupons at Publix.

Example:
Special K cereal - $3.99
Manu. Coupon    -<1.00>
Store Coupon       <1.00>
Compet. Coupon  <1.00>
                               ____
Total Cost                  .99

Also Publix was offering a $5.00 off $30.00 so I was able to use that coupon.

Harris Teeter Super Doubles

It's time to use up those coupons that are over $1.00.  Harris Teeter is offering super doubles on coupons this week up to $1.98.  Harris Teeter will double up to 20 coupons per day after 20 coupons are taken at face value.
