Although I didn't get to be part of the school excitement this year, I made another big change this week and started a new job. Working retail is one of the hardest things that I have ever done and I have come home exhausted every single night. I've still managed to function a little in the evenings, but my wonderful husband has been kind enough to take charge of things this past week during my transition time. I have never been so excited for it to be the weekend! I could sure use a break to let my body recuperate. We have a count down going at work until the first football game and I have heard mixed stories about how fun it can be but also what a horrible day it is. I'm trying to absorb as much information as possible before this big day comes.
I did muster up enough energy to go shopping today before AND after church. I was at Rite Aid when they opened their doors this morning, and then went to Publix later. I combined the two transactions for the following picture and totals. The couple behind me at Publix was amazed at my savings and we had a nice conversation about it. It was a relief because I have had some people make rude comments when they get "stuck" behind a couponer. I think they are just jealous that they are paying full price for their groceries :-) I had a comment that we must eat Ramen on our tiny grocery budget, but in actuality, we eat pretty good!!
Total before coupons and sales: $109.28
Total after coupons and sales: $24.56
That's a savings of 78%!!
