At Sam's club Gogurt tubes cost $0.24 each tube. They are on sale at Kroger this week for $1.49 for an 8 count, (when you buy 5 participating items). Plus I had a coupon for $0.75 off of two. That is $1.11 for an 8 count, that is $0.14 each tube. Quite a deal, and my kids love them, and freeze them, and pack them for lunch. Since you can freeze these, I will stock up on them. Even without a coupon they are only $0.18 each. We can each a box per day, easy. Since they can be frozen, those won't go bad.
Tide was on sale at Kroger for $4.99 for a 45 load bottle. I had save $3 off 3, which made them $3.99 each bottle (regulary $7.99 at Kroger). This breaks down to $.08 per load!! At Sam's it is $0.19 per load, but I blew it! When I showed up at Kroger with my coupons, the sale was over.
Thats how you do it. Depending on the number of items you are tracking the price, determines how much time each week it will take you to do this.
I thought Coke was a wicked deal at Kroger, 12 packs $0.25 per can. This is the regular price at Sam's. However, Sam's doesn't have Orange Crush, or Dr. Pepper, so I will buy pop at Kroger, I may or may not stick up on the Coke, because that is the regular price at Sam's.
Once you have your main list in place, the time you spend each week should be less and less. I would start with a smaller number of items, and gradually add more. If you try to do too much too soon, you will feel overwhelmed, and like you are using too much of your time. Then you will quit, and not save any money.
Even utalizing $5.00 of coupons per week on items you typically buy, saves $5.00, and that $5.00 should go straight to the savings account.
