Here is a recent shopping, 6-13-12, trip to Safeway to grab some groceries. I had my hubby, 14-year-old son and the baby, so I ended up with a few unplanned items in the cart. I ended up with a $2 catalina good off the total of my next visit.

This strategy saved me 59% or $67.76. I would have done better without the donuts, ground beef and chicken nuggets. But things get added when you shop with others. The cashier had to double check the total because she could not believe it and I received quite a few compliments about being organized.

I LOVE walking out of a store with a cart full of groceries for less than $50. I also doubled my gas reward points and now have a $0.20 off per gallon discount and I am only $20 (pre-coupon total) short of another $0.10 discount.
