The Bargain Hunter in Me

I have a love for shopping, but I have an even bigger love for bargains. When you put the two together I am one REALLY EXCITED shopper! I bought all of this:

Which is:
3 gallons of milk
10 boxes of Honey bunches of Oats
12 boxes of Frosted Mini Wheats
1 box granola bars
2 boxes of nutri grain bars
9 boxes of pop tarts (they have unfrosted ones)
18 eggs
10 yogurts
1 bag of nut clusters
1 frozen pizza (I have to have at least one in my freezer for back up)
8 cans of mandarin oranges
Mckormick mesquite seasoning to grill with
Bananas
And candy to bribe 2 of the 3 kids I had with me!

All for $54.76
I got the cereal all for $1 a box.
the BIG pizza for 2.99.
the milk for 1.38 a gallon...

I got $161.88 worth of groceries for $54 bucks. Obviously this isn't all we buy for the week for groceries but I stock up on cereal when it's this cheap. I hit these big sales 2 times/week or every 2 weeks with the coupons and then I go to Walmart to get the rest of our groceries.

A lot of people have been asking me what I do and how much I save. If you have any questions shoot me an email!

Great deals. I just stared couponing a few months ago. Kind of fun. I've started to build up a short term food storage. The cereal, canned tomato and veggie deals have to be my favorite. I think we have about 50 boxes of cereal in B's closet right now. Crazy or just thinking ahead? Have you heard of couponmom.com?
