It's Shopping Trip Time!
My hubby, James, decided he was going shopping this morning! It took him about an hour to print everything and cut his coupons. Then he was back home exactly an hour after he left. I didn't have time to get involved in this trip…and we went to the produce stand yesterday, so he only had $60 to spend from our grocery budget. He did pretty good…except it looks like we will be eating a LOT of summer sausage (or using it for a Super Bowl Party).
Here are the details of what he got today at Publix: {You can still get all this stuff through Weds, 1/22 HERE}
(10) Cream Of Wheat $2.99

I am a reasonable couponer…sometimes we gotta just let the hubby take the reigns and have fun too! After the $40 at the produce stand and $55 here, we still have $65 for next weeks trip to finish out the month and stay within our $320 monthly budget! And we are feeding a family of six!
~Be inspired to do this too! It is not as hard as one would think! Happy Shopping!
