I just saved more than I spent at the grocery store! Ask me anything.

Between in-store specials and coupons, I spent $10.80 and saved $12.60.

Here's what I got for less than $11: 6 cans of Progresso soup, 4 boxes of Totino's pizza rolls and 2 loaves of Healty Life whole-wheat bread.

I don't think I'll ever arrive at the compulsiveness it takes to get your groceries for free, but I'm getting better.

1. No questions, but bravo!

That rocks. :hi:

2. Thank you

Just when I thought no one cared. (Well, except for my husband, who will eat the soup and pizza rolls when I work evenings.)

3. good for you

the aggravating thing is there are never coupons for produce or fresh meat/dairy

4. I'm a vegetarian

and my husband doesn't eat that much meat, so that limits our costs. We don't drink milk, but do use cheese, although I'm trying to move more toward soy-based "cheeses."

This year, we had an organic garden, supplemented by weekly trips to the farmer's market. I got so spoiled that I dread winter coming.
