I spent 34.00 saved about 200 dollars at Fry's!

This the grocery trip I'm mostly proud of. I'm happy to say I'm a extreme couponer!! I would love to show you how I did it. I'm not sure I will show you all of my secrets, but I do get the Sunday Paper, and my Mother In Law gives me her coupons. I do print coupons off the internet, I also sign up for bunch of samples and get coupons from that.

Fresh and Easy Rules- so remember this! Spend 50 or more get 10dollars off Spend 30 or more get 3 dollars off Also remember the limits on the Safeway coupons Along with any limits on Fry's products. When there are limits you have to seperate orders if you get more than the limit.

This took about 3 day prep time for, include coupon cutting, printing, planning and calculating and scanning the ads. Now with this shopping experience note that Fry's is taking other grocery stores coupons. I happen to get a 10dollar coupon, and a 3 dollar coupon from Fresh and Easy. So added savings!

Alright let me get on with the show! :D This how my grocery list looks like, okay mostly I had to be more descriptive for you guys to understand.

NOTE: Fry's is doubling their coupons up to a 1.00 each.

Acronyms:

SWPC- Safeway Price Coupon
FSP- Fry's Sale Price

FC- Fry's coupon

Hey you all, missed me much? I'm hoping to post more stuff soon, including the ways I'm making extra cash at home. Plus some more at home jobs! Yippee! Look forward to it. Things have changed and my husband and are staying in our house. He is lined up for a new job. For now I'm making chump change to help us survive until then. :D I'm also wondering what you all have learned from Extreme Couponing! I haven't been able to watch it. I want to learn how to save 80 percent everytime, instead of the average 50% I hope Easter is a fun time of year for you.

Sorry I have been so busy

Sorry I disappeared for a month, life distracted me, and trying to make money distracted me. I currently rent the place I'm living at, and it could be foreclosed on anytime. My Landlord isn't paying the bills, at one point the electricity go shut off. Then after that there was a water billl shut off notice for the whole property not fun at all. My husband and I decided we needed to move at the end of our lease. Luckily that will be happening soon. I will try to post as much as stuff as I can but I will distracted. I've been looking for a place to move too. And I have been trying to make money. You all know how that goes.
