So as most you know… I did a little shopping today… ok not a little shopping a lot of shopping.. All couponing.. All epic… And saved some good money.. You ready for this?
I was literally dancing around the stores with some of my steals of the day…

And this just proves you can Coupon and be Paleo!

Target:
I bought….
• 1 Method Dish liquid Soap {Normally $2.99, Used Target $1/1 and MFR Coupon $1/1 = $0.99!}
• 1 4 pack GE Bulbs {Normally $2.39, used Target Coupon $2/1 = $0.39… Which come to under $0.10 per bulb!}
• 1 Green Works Bleach {Normally $3.99 Used Target $1/1 Coupon and MFR Coupon $2/1 = $0.99!}
• 1 Starbucks Blonde Roast, Ground {Normally $8.99 On Sale for $7.99, used $1/1 = $6.99}
• 1 Starbucks Refresher Drink {Normally $2.29, Used Buy Starbucks Ground Coffee Get 1 Refresher Free Peelie off of coffee }
• 2 Stay Free Pads, 24 ct {Normally $3.00, On Clearance for $2.45, used $1/1 Coupon = $1.45 per!}

So I spent, $12.26 on $26.65 worth of stuff! I didn’t go out with getting the pads in mind.. but I always check clearance.. and low and behold. So ALWAYS check clearance… You could score majorly.

Grocery Store:
{My grocery store does not double coupons, and does not allow me to stack their own coupons and MFR Coupons… so it’s trickier to save money/coupon}
• 2 boxes Club Crackers {For my Yiayia!} {Normally $2.00 each, used $0.70/1 = $1.30 each!}
• 75 Sq Feet Aluminum Foil {Normally $3.99, On sale $3.00/1, used $1.50/1 = $1.50 each!}
• 2 Bag Cape Cod Chips, 8.5 oz {For Mr. Not So Paleo} { Normally $3.00 each, On Sale $5/2, used $1/2 Coupon = $2.00 each!}
• 2 Jones All Natural Sausages {Normally $2.99 each, on Sale $2.69, used $2.00/2 Coupon =$1.69 each}
• 2 Dozen Eggs {$2.49 each, used $0.55/2 Coupon = $2.21 Each}
• 2 Pasta Prima Fresh Raviolis {Normally $2.50, On Sale $1.99, used $1.50/1 Coupon = $0.49 each!}
• 1 bag Kitty Treats, $1.50 {If I didn’t come home with some she was going to pack her kitty bags!}
• Tomatoes, On Sale $0.99/lb, Spent $1.10
• Lunch Meat For Mr. Not So Paleo, $2.49

So I spent… $23.65 on $39.03 worth of stuff… And I’m going to have one very Happy Yiayia when she gets her club crackers tomorrow.. which is a bonus!

*** Only 3 of the coupons came from my newspaper, the rest were from various online sources….So no, you don’t have to get the paper to save money and coupon!

All in all I spent $47.23 for $95.68 worth of various products. Yes, I am one happy camper.. Have I had better trips before? Yes… yes I have.. this is one of my middle of the road woohoo trips. But all things considered I’m wicked happy. And I can safely say I won’t need Aluminum foil until the big sale in July! {Yes… July = fourth of July = Aluminum Foil Sale!}

And lets put this into major perspective… I spent… $6.38 on 4 Rolls On Aluminum Foil {the 70-75 sq.ft}… which would have normally cost me… 15.96… and when I run out, I’m not going to have to pay full price.. I’m not going to even have to stress about leaving the house and wasting gas money to get it if I need it in a pinch, it’s there for me when I’m ready. Which is not only smart money spending… it makes my life simpler and easier {which really is what stocking up does}.

I’m going to do a 101 post on how I prep for this / coupon {it’s easy and quick} But if you need help planning out a trip w/ coupons.. email me {liz@paleoonabudget.com} I’ll help you plan it out!
