Balloon fiesta

where I get satisfaction

So the reciept didn't turn out, but it said I saved $222.00 at Albertsons. I told the cashier my goal was to pay under $200 after using my coupons. I made it to $144.00 for all this food. And you don't see the fresh vegetables, 4 1/2 lbs. of london broil and tons of yogurt I bought hiding there. It probably took about 2 hours in preparation and an hour and a half to buy. I used my ad, newspaper coupons and 2 web sites: pinchingyourpennies.com and hip2save.blogspot.com. I also sometimes print coupons on coupons.com. It feels like this is my new job now. Ken is grateful to start putting away money in savings now.
