Tonight's trip to Fry's was even better, in my opinion, than the last one! Here's a breakdown of what I got

3 pouches of Idahoan potatoes (free)
1 Crest Toothpaste (free)
1 Dial hand soap (free)
2 Martha White Muffin mixes ($.20 each)
3 Healthy Choice frozen meals ($.47 each)
2 Suave deodorants ($.49 each)
3 Totinos Pizzas ($.66 each)
3 Birds Eye Veggie Steamer bags ($1.16 each)
3 Jose Ole Taquitos ($1.49 each)
1 Honey Bunches of Oats ($1.99)
1 Gortons Grilled fish ($1.99)

Total savings of $40.40! The only thing I didn't have a coupon for was the cereal. I was also hoping to get a free Dawn dish detergent, but they were out (go figure).

$11.10

I love Fry's!

I love saving money

Every time I go to the grocery store and I see the savings at the end of the receipt I get this sense of satisfaction. It's great! Last night, Eric and I had one of our best trips yet and it can only get better from here! We went to Fry's, thanks to the buy 10 save $5 promotion. A lot of the stuff on the list I happened to have coupons for! My favorite thing about Fry's is their coupon policy. All coupons are worth $1. They also accept competitor coupons (So those Fresh N Easy coupons you have, you can use them at Fry's). We might not have done the best, and someone reading this might think we suck at the coupon game, but I was satisfied. We saved $61.59 and spent $42.86! We got a whole bunch of household items too (which is what usually drives our grocery bill way through the roof). We were able to get four different types of cleaners for the house for about $1.50 each. We also got a great deal on some toothbrushes and toothpaste! Sure, I had to deal with Eric saying "we won't need to buy these for a while now..." But we got 5 toothbrushes and 2 tubes of toothpaste (Colegate) for $4.40. So while we won't have to buy them for a while, we also won't have to shell out $2 or so when the time comes to replace ours (not that $2 is a lot, it's just more than what we spent). Even though the household items were still a big portion of our bill, we got a lot of really tasty food for the remaining $30.
Eric's excited because that's more money in savings for his chair.
