Couponing from my perspective!

HI! My name is Michael. This is me:

and this is my mom: the one on the left :)


I like to call her the coupon queen momma. I decided that I would take over her blog tonight and let you know of all the great deals she got today! She is too tired to do it herself - I am not sure why she is so tired, it's not like we run around all day long! It not like this happens all day or anything:

or this:or this:


Oh, this is my brother, Jeremiah:

He has his fingers in his ears because he is tired of hearing the word "coupon" all day long... "give me a break MOM!"

well, he is missing out because Mom got some great deals today and I am so proud of her. One of my favorite deals that she bought today was Ketchup!!!! Why have I not been introduced to this red, gooey, yet slimey stuff before? Do you know how good this stuff tastes? just three words:

OH

MY
GOODNESS!!!


yep, my mom paid .58 each for ketchup! Yum, I can't wait until lunch - if only mom would feed it to me every meal...

Well mom went to Publix today and scored some saweeeeeet deals - she bought all of this for ....

...$22.28!!!
tell me my mom's not the BOMB!

(look at all that chicken - bawk bawk bawk (that's what a chicken does if you didn't already know that... )

So here are the digits for this weeks totals in groceries:
Total Value: $120.92
Total Spent: $27.82 ($22.28 was product; $5.54 was tax)
Total Savings:$98.64 - 78% Savings


Mom went to CVS today too! This is her favorite place to go and I love it when she comes home because she is normally jumping up and down and exclaiming her deals in a real fun way to us - very entertaining I must say! Today was no different - she was VERY excited about this one:



Total Value: $28.92
Total Spent: $2.36 ($.46 was product; $1.90 was tax) - paid with gift card.
Total Savings:$28.46 - 92% Savings

Mom was really excited about the fact that she spent 6 of her extra care bucks and got back 11 extra care bucks! Who hoo - I was excited for her on that one!!!!

So... her grand total for year so far is: (drum roll Jeremiah Puh-lease!!!!)
Total Value: $286.27
Total Spent: $53.21
Total Savings:$233.06 - 81% Savings


Whoo wee! That just makes my little 21 month old self shout horray! Way to go mom!

Thanks to God for providin' it, and Dad for workin' for it, and Mom for shoppin' for it, we have yummy food that can go on this table!

You guys are too cute! I'm a coupon mom of twins also (but they are only 3 months)! And I have a 2 and 3 year old. I love your blog! Publix and CVS are the BEST!

I am curious how much you paid for your chicken? You got a lot of stuff including a bunch of chicken, so I was just wondering how you managed to keep your total so low. Thanks!!

For all the groceries I paid $7.25 (plus tax - I also, had a $10 off $50 coupon from Winn Dixie - our Publix considers them a competitor) then I bought $20.03 of chicken (it was on sale for $1.99/lb) and I had a $5 off $20 purchase coupon (CVS - our publix also considers them a competitor)

That's awesome that your store takes so many competitor Qs!
Way to Go!
