My Hobby

One of my hobbies is trying to see how many groceries I can get for the smallest amount of money. I do this with the help of one of my favorite websites http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/ . It has allowed me to do two things:

1)Keep our grocery bill low

2)Slowly build our food storage

Sloan and I try to be frugal and our goal is to keep our grocery bill low because we would rather spend our money on other things. I love couponing, and I try to plan my meals around what's on sale and combine those sales with coupons. At two recent sales at Albertson's, I got the following:

1st sale:

168 Pampers diapers

1box Rice Krispies

1box Cascadian Farms raisin bran

1box Froot Loops

1box Frosted Flakes

2 boxes Fruit Roll-ups

2 boxes fruit snacks

2 boxes Fiber one granola bars

1 box Fiber one toaster pastries

2 boxes Fiber one pancake mix

1 box Fiber one muffin mix

3 boxes Hamburger Helper

1 bag Cheerios snack mix

1 6-can pack of Slim Fast shakes

1 box Slim Fast meal-on-the-go bars

1 box Slim Fast snack bars

1 box Bisquick

1 box Betty Crocker instant potatoes

2 bags Malt-O-Meal Blueberry muffin top cereal

My total was $29 and change

2nd sale:

4 boxes Quaker instant oatmeal packets

2 canisters Quaker oats

2 boxes Quaker granola bars

4 boxes Life cereal

4 boxes Raisin Bran

8 jars Beech-Nut baby food

2 jars Beech-Nut white grape juice

1 box Beech-Nut Rice Cereal

My total was $23 plus dollars, but I used $20 in free grocery certificates from the last sale, so it was only $3.28 out of pocket for me.
