It may sound petty, but, yes I am thankful for coupons. In our recent shopping trip we saved over 50% on our grocery bill. It is my favorite thing to wait until all the groceries have been scanned in and then hand the checker my Kroger card and watch my total drop like Zion Bank stock. It's not just having the card that makes everything so great. It's using those ho-hum coupons you get in the Sunday news paper. It does take effort to clip and store all those tiny pieces of flimsy paper, but when they end up saving you $20 a trip, it's worth it. the icing on the cake is this website called thegrocerygame.com. This crazy lady named Teri tells you where to use your clipped coupons to get the best deals. She even breaks it all down to show you the original price, the sale price, and the percentage you're saving. Pretty neat. Thanks for letting me in on all the "grocery gaming" know-how and all the info every week, Gretchen. I think my trial period is over and it's time to sign myself up.
If you haven't gotten bored with me yet, you're in for a treat. Cuz here comes the BEST part. Carl and I found a deal that wasn't completely disclosed on the website. Kroger is having this deal where you buy 10 items and get $5 off your bill. We found some Kellogg's coupons in the paper, including a $10 rebate. Long story short, we got 6 boxes of cereal, 2 boxes of krispie treats, and 2 boxes of waffles all for the price of tax plus a stamp. A WOO HOO!!! Now that's what I call food storage! Our total savings for our grocery bill today was $61.01. Thank you Kroger, thank you newspaper coupons, thank you crazy lady Teri, and thank you Gretchen for teaching me the true value of coupon clipping.
