Grocery Shopping....

I have started getting the Sunday Fort Worth Star Telegram for one reason and one reason only...coupons and sales ads.  I have tried, in the past, to cut and use coupons, but I've never really saved a lot of money.  At this point, any money saved is a good thing.  So, with that, I have sat down, gone through the sales ads to find the items we need or I use, make a list with the sales cost to go along with my grocery list.

I have created a spreadsheet to write down all of these items, their regular price at Wal-Mart and then the sales price to see if the sales price is really a good deal or not.  I have some coupons to go with some of my items, but not as many as I would like.  Hopefully, by writing down regular prices I will be better able to see if a sales price is a good deal or not.

Fingers crossed, I am going to set a goal of saving $10 dollars tomorrow.  We will see if I can do it or not.  No, it's not a lot, but it's a starting point.  I will have a couple recipes to share that I will be cooking next week with what I'm shopping for tomorrow.  I'll let you know tomorrow if I was able to make my goal or not...wish me luck!
