Here’s THE PROOF that Couponing can save you money.

The Details of this trip:

Let’s start with the Hillshire Farms lunch meat.  I had a $1/3 off coupon from the package I had previously purchased.  Kroger had this lunch meat on sale 10/$10.  So I bought 3 packages for $2.

I bought the Kroger brand of diapers…Comforts…for $6.99 with a $3.00 off coupon printed from the Kroger website.  Oh…and at check out, I received another $3 off coupon (Catalina coupon).  Let’s hope the Comforts can hold up to the strain my youner son puts on them.  He can bring the thunder if you know what I mean.

Cheerios were also on sale for $1.67.  Normally they are over $3.00 a box.  I also had a coupon $0.75 loaded on my card.  Since I sent THE HUSBAND on this grocery trip; he grabbed the wrong box…Honey Nut instead of Multi-Grain…but he gets points for letting me take a Saturday afternoon nap.

I also had a $1.25 off Pampers coupon from their website.  I signed up for a potty training kit and it came with the coupon, a free pull-up, and some stickers for THE MEESTER (my 3 year old).

After I pointed out to THE HUSBAND that he didn’t get the correct box of Cheerios, he felt defeated.  So I went back to the store later that day, and picked up a box of Cheerios for the coupon I had loaded on my Kroger Plus Card.  That’s the second receipt. (71% saving…but that’s just for that one item).

Overall, this trip resulted in a 47% savings, a free diaper, some stickers, and some battle scars for THE HUSBAND.
