We made our first major trip to the grocery store tonight, since we started playing the "grocery game" and following some great blogs like Southern Savers. Here are the results:
Total Bill Before Savings: $130.72
Total Bill After Savings: $78.14
Store Sale Savings: $39.43
Coupon Savings: $13.15
Total Savings: $52.58
Thats a 40% SAVINGS!
We tried to stick to sale/coupon items, but I will admit that we did buy quite a few things that weren't on sale. For instance, I had to buy ingredients to make The Pioneer Woman's Hot & Sweet Drumsticks, which I plan on making this weekend.
Here are the pics for proof:
