Triples Are Here!!!

And I don't mean triple babies

Triple Coupons started at Harris Teeter Thursday and Bloom yesterday and end tomorrow. A friend of mine is teaching me her techniques during triples to help me build a stock pile. The goal is to buy when cheap, not necessarily b/c we need it now. Some of the best buys this go around are Betty Crocker cakes, frosting, cookie mixes, paper towes, Dawn, cheese, Campbells Chicken Noodle and many more. With four kids that eat us out of the house, I need to save in groceries as much as I can. A few weeks ago I started a binder and a few months ago I started buying more than one newspaper for the coupons. Now I'm finally seeing all the work pay off.

Here's my savings...

Totals $145.20 $616.53 $173.13

I have bought over $600 dollars worth of groceries for $145.20. How amazing is that? It took me a few trips to start figuring it all out so I could have spent much less if I had worked it out first plus I did get some things I needed now that weren't necessarily the best deals. This has been so much fun but so exhausting. I'll probably hit Bloom up again tomorrow after I get the new Sunday newspaper coupons.
