So, Jennifer MacFarquahar came over yesterday afternoon and she watched our children while Jason and I went on a date. Afterwards I spent some time planning a shopping trip for her to Publix. I thought it would be fun to organize a trip for her and see how she liked it......
HER RESPONSE VIA EMAIL (which made me giggle with delight).
Ok, so I have this friend named Kelly, who is single-handedly trying to change the culture of grocery shopping. In other words, she is teaching ladies how to perform grocery shopping in an extremely frugal manner. For my first extreme couponing shopping experience today, I went to Publix, and purchased the following items.
4 packages of Kraft shredded cheese
2 packages of Mahatma rice
2 bottles of McCormick spices
2 Publix brand 5lb sugar
4 bottles of Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce
3 7.5oz bottles of liquid SoftSoap
4 boxes of Ritz crackers (4 sleeves crackers/box)
8 packages of Yoplait YoPlus 4-pack yogurt
Publix penny item: window cleaner (value: $2.19).
All for a grand total of........$4.08 (including tax)!
Grand savings: $67.49. In other words, it was a 96% savings. Not bad for a first venture. Thanks, Kel!!! It was way too much fun! And these are all items either I or my family members will use...
