I have been a little obsessed with a few blogs lately that explain how to save hundreds of dollars every month by "couponing". After a few weeks of wondering if I could do it I finally gave it a shot. It is not as easy as you think it is. First, you have to change the way you think about how you buy groceries. You don't really buy for the week, you buy for what is on sale and cook off of the storage you have built up. Secondly, you have to spend quite a bit of time organizing and preparing for your trip to the grocery store. Last night Ken and I stayed up late looking over the Publix add and pulling coupons from the internet and it really paid off in a big way! Publix offers many "buy one get one"(BOGO) offers and you can use one coupon per item! For example purchased Ragu pasta sauce BOGO for $3.19 and then used a coupon that saved me $1 off two sauces, so I got both for $2.19!
This is a picture of all the items. It really doesn't do it justice since things are stacked and burried on top of each other. 
And the back side....
I paid $97.00 for all of this and I saved $107.90!
I am really excited about this and can't wait until the next shopping adventure!!
