It’s been a while since I’ve shared my coupon menu! I haven’t been cooking that much this month because of my foot – we’ve mostly been eating takeaway or quickie meals. Boy, am I glad that things are getting back to normal again! Here’s what we had tonight:
BBQ Chicken, baked potatoes, and salad, served with homemade bread and tea. This meal wasn’t 100% coupon-funded, since Jai has done a lot of the shopping this month while I recovered. But I still made good use of many stockpile items!
Several years ago I knew someone who was ascatiosed with one or several coupon clubs or sources. She had shoe boxes filled with coupons, and by using those coupons at stores that double the coupons up to a certain value she would come out with carts full of groceries that she only paid a couple of dollors for. Sounds unreal I know and I wouldn’t have believed it myself but I was actually with her on one of those shopping trips and she left the grocery store with two heaping carts, a register slip three feet long and the grand total of that shopping trip just $1.78!!! Just in case you think this may be a typo, it’s not, her grocery total was one dollar and seventy eight cents. While I realize that times have changed and the savings oppportunities may not be as great today, I believe that there has to be a better source for coupons than the Sunday paper.
