This was my first month of keeping track of how much we spend on groceries and how much we "save" by using coupons and Safeway's Just-4-U program.
Spent: $212.02
"Saved": $108.34
Retail value of groceries: $320.36
Percent saved: 33.82%!
I'm definitely happier to have paid $212 for our groceries - including my birthday party! - instead of $320. I think I can do better than 34%, though. One of my coworkers brings me the coupons from her newspaper every week - I was super happy to have scored a $2 jar of Nutella last week, because it was on sale at Safeway and I had a $1 coupon from her.
great for saving, I always check sale ads, and go through my coupons and see where I can save the most... there are a few websites where you can print out scannable coupons.one time I got our coffee for 3 dollars a can... I did buy 6 cans and used coupon for all of them.. yippee.. keep up the good work.
