Crystal at Money Saving Mom thought it would be a great idea if bargain shoppers across the blogosphere could encourage each other by posting pictures of the deals they’d found throughout each week. I have to say I agree with her. There’s nothing more motivating than seeing how other people have spent their money frugally throughout the week. So I’m going to join the fun.
I recently joined the Grocery Game, and my store to shop is Albertson’s. Living in Oregon, I don’t have the luxury of stores that double coupons, but I can still find some good deals. This is what I bought on Monday.
But on to my savings. All of those items before store savings and coupons came to $64.15. My savings between my preferred card and my coupons was $32.53, and I ended up paying a total of $31.62. That’s a savings of 50%. Not bad for my first try!
To be inspired by more great bargain hunters, head over to Money Saving Mom!

great buys! Come grocery shopping for me ;)
Great buys! I’ll have to join in next Saturday.
Way to go! I’m definitely going to aspire to you 50% savings! Safeway still does double coupons if you have one near-by.
Safeways here in Oregon have a coupon where you can double up to 4 manufacturers coupons up to 50 cents. That’s the best we have for double coupons around here.
Fortunately, Albertson’s takes competitor’s coupons, and I use the double coupon there, as well as the awesome Fred Meyer coupons every week. I get the benefit of the deals at all three stores, and I only have to shop at one. :)
Great tip, Paula! I will ask!
See if your Albertson’s give a .05 discount for using your own bags. You’ll have to ask the manager because the cashiers won’t know about it. They offer this discount here, but when I use my own bags, they seem to shove quite a bit of stuff in one bag, but when they use the Albertson’s bags, they give me like 400 bags with each only one item LOL.
Good deal with your shopping.
I like your honesty: “I know that looks like a lot of junk food. It is.”
WOW! 50% savings is AWESOME! Go Lynnae!
Um, YUM! Wanna come over?
