Friday grocery shopping!

For the past 4 Fridays, this has become my grocery shopping day. I've started the grocery game (www.thegrocerygame.com) so my store lists come out on Thursdays and then I gather my coupons and make out a list of what I'll get at the store. I use to always HATE grocery shopping, but now that I have a list and I know exactly what to get and we get in and get out, it's not so bad.

Since starting this, I've saved a total of $74. Now, I know that's not as great as some of you coupon pro's out there....(**cough**Sarah**cough) But, I think it's really good for me for so far. I haven't bought anything that I normally wouldn't use just because it's on sale or I have a coupon for it. So everything I buy is stuff I will use for that week or later on. I've learned that saving the most is definitely doable when combining store sales and coupons together. And actually, about 90% of items today were either on sale or I had a coupon for or both! I really want to keep this up!

And just because she was looking so cute. This is the outfit Shannon gave her for her birthday. For the most part, she's a good little shopper. She usually likes to play with something in the seat (notice the frozen bag next to her.) And lately, she loves looking at all the holiday decorations in the store.
