Pinching our Pennies

Have I mentioned to any of you how coupon shopping is really a great thing for our family? I just got home from work and a late night shopping trip to Albertson's. I was excited and thought I would share my deals.

This is what I got:

*14 boxes of Cheerios
*2 boxes of Lucky Charms
*2 boxes of Fruity Cheerios
*2 boxes of Golden Grahams
*8 boxes of Fiber One Granola Bars- very yummy. They are almost like a high fiber candy bar. High in Fiber, not low in calories or sugar I am sure.
*4 boxes Nature Valley Granola bars
*4 boxes fruit by the foot
*2 boxes fruit roll ups
*2 boxes fruit gushers

For a total of 40 items.

Here is my receipt. It isn't the best picture. This is what it says: Total $23.05. Savings: $137.35. I would never buy any of this stuff unless I could get it for this price. There is no way we could afford it. AND, I realize it is not the most healthy stuff in the world. But, for bribery at certain desperate moments, fruit roll-ups, fruit snacks and granola bars work wonders.
