I felt good about myself yesterday and today. Yesterday I poured over all the grocery store circulars , clipped coupons and shopped in 3 grocery stores, pretty much if it wasnt on sale or i didnt have a coupon I tried not to buy it unless it was necesary or a staple (milk, bread) I saved 40.00 on items on sale in the store, an additonal 34.00 with coupons and i am getting 17.00 back in rebates so it all totals to about 45% in savinings over what i normally would have done (which was buying without thinking or planning)
then this morning i had not paper money on me so i dumped all my change into the snowflake jar , stopped at the atm and took out 20.00 in case of emergency, didnt spend a dime today, brought my lunch and coffee to work with me! thats my goal for the end of the week not to break that 20.00!

Good for you, girl.
We don't bargain shop when we do groceries. I think that's are biggest monthly expense.
