I am a shopping GOD! Worship me! Bring me a sammich!!
I had a budget of $350 for food and various stuffs from the grocery store today. I got $340 worth of food. I only paid $270 for it! Woohoo! I've been planning meals around what's on sale, and since I started doing that we've been paying about $130-150 a week for groceries and getting more stuff every time. Last time we spent $280, but had to go back for $20 worth of stuff. This time we got everything on the list, plus extras like ice cream and popcorn.
It was actually sort of fun too... kind of like a scavenger hunt. Looking for the 2-for-1, the family pack, the buck off. Lots of meat was buy one, get one free. I have so many beer brats that I am going to need some Pepto and extra TP!
And I got a whole chicken! and 72 cans of Pepsi! It was everything I could do not to buy a giant package of crab legs, just because!
Can you tell I'm excited?
I got Hot Pockets! Making some tacos tonight. I've got BEERS!!
Actually, I bought some beers at the gas station because the prices are so much better. It is odd... the gas station charges $12 for ketchup, and $4 less for a 12-pack of Shock Top. Woo!
Next time? I try to get even more food, for even less money. I might use a... dare I say? I might use a coupon!!

YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON THIS!!! i have been looking at the grocery store fliers every week for months and months. it makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE to know what the store has on sale. HUGE. and if you have coupons for those sale items, it is even better.
i never used to do this. but everything is so damn expensive now, and money is tight.
and you are right about another thing. IT IS FUN! who wants to get ripped off? getting good deals is a huge accomplishment that benefits all!
and thank you so much for your comment on my blog today. it is good to get the male perspective, and i think you just might have the situation pegged right. thank you.
Sounds like SOMEONE might need an intervention!
Congratulations on the score. I'm glad I don't live with you, though; the beer and brats is a deadly combination!
My farts smell like lilacs...
