coupons

Today I went to publix and using the coupon magic from this website was able to spend $45 and "save" $40.  Which is not to say I only spent $5.  I spent $45 on $85 worth of products that I usually wouldn't buy, but that is still tasty and my family will enjoy.  It's funny how much we get caught up in the "saved" number.  

I know 2 mega coupon queens.  I don't know what they do when they run out of rice, or flour.  There are a lot of things that never have coupons because they are staples. 

2 weeks ago when I bought 20 boxes of cereal for $13 with the help of my Jacksonville coupon friend, I should have just gotten all Raisin Bran.  I'm already sick of the other varieties I bought.  P will never get sick of Rasin Bran.  So that is what I should have bought.

I am going to try and do the coupon thing.  What a defeatist attitude.  I am weekly going to go though and buy the items that we will eat, that I can use coupons and sales, to get for cheaper than I would at Save a lot.  But I'm still going to go get flour at Save a lot when I run out...
