When the actual numbers came in from coupon shopping with a total saving of $25.24 I asked my wife what happened this month? Her reply was simple! She only went shopping twice this month compared to the regular weekly shopping trips totaling four. Evidently the cabinets where fuller this month and making coupon shopping worth while. Saving basically two weeks of groceries and house hold supplies is a great deal. Guess you could say about $200 was saved on top of our total coupon saving but for the reason of this blog I want keep it in with our monthly totals.
The second quarter (April, May & June) we saved a grand total of $144.32 by using our coupons. One family proving that clipping coupons does help. On a average I would say we save 8% to 15% when purchasing items.
