So, in total, we paid $31.77 for items that should have cost us $56.88. And that's without any real coupons!
Hey, good job! I've noticed myself that I'm more smart, even if we don't have coupons. The last couple weeks were a little painful (as previously stated) since we didn't have many coupons and we decided to buy things that were not on sale. Yesterday, however, we only bought things we had a deal for, and the Safeway total was 97, dropped down to 55. It is hard with the veggies since they pretty much never have coupons, but they regularly go on sale.
