Supper Shopper!!!!!

Lately I have been hearing A LOT about women who are being FABULOUS shoppers and very frugal.  I have seen several blog posts where women have made a display of, oh say, 15 things and then tell the amount they paid for all of it . . . something ridiculously low . . .like . . . $3.00.  (I'm telling you it REALLY does happen!)

So, I thought I would try my hand at it.  I usually NEVER shop at Albertson's because I always thought of it as "the expensive grocery store."  However, I found that I could get lots of groceries for a VERY small amount!

Because I am NOT super-duper handy I don't have any pictures to show you, but I can telll you that I got . . wait for it . . . (drum roll please!)  . . .

35 items
$112.17 worth of groceries for . . .
$51.15!!!!
to give me a savings of . . .
$61.02!!!!!!!!!!!
PLUS . . .
I earned 5 cents of a gallon of gas up to 20 gallons!
(It just keeps getting better!)
So, in a nutshell I SAVED MORE THAN I SPENT!!!! That REALLY excites me!  Do I think I'm the shopper of the century? NO!  Did I get the most fabulous deal ever?  Maybe not, I'm not sure, but I was sure happy about it.
I know that there are A LOT of thrifty women out there, so if you know of anymore secrets or "good deals" let me know :) 
Also, I am now going to feature a section on my sidebar that has sites (mostly garneshed from my good friend Alyssa's blog.  Thanks Alyssa!) which offer cupons and GREAT advice on how to "catch the cupon craze!" 
Happy Shopping :)

Yeah, I found you on your blog Brianna. Hey thanks for commenting on my blog. Way to save. I am in the beginning stages of learning the couponing art. I love the 10 for 10 deals at Albertson's!
