Since December, I have been trying to really get the hang of how to save money on our groceries using coupons. We have been getting the Sunday paper, I save the coupon inserts, write the date on them, and file them away. But, I could never really figure out how to save big. A couple of weeks ago, that all changed. I went to a couponing class. It totally sounds cheesy, but it was incredible. Everything finally made sense to me. I can shop at Harris Teeter, buy name brands, and save significantly more than I did buying Great Value brand at Walmart. 
In the above pic, I paid about $19 and saved $31.35 (a 61% savings)- that's right. In the picture below I spent $12 and saved $27 (a 69% savings). Harris Teeter doubles coupons daily, but this week they are tripling. So, I stocked up on free things that I know we'll need later (deodorant, paprika, tea, hot sauce, windex and rice...all free.) The soap was $.o4, the cups $.25, and the cookies $.54. The bread and rice cereal and cereal bars were just regular price.

So, the goal is to stock up when it's free or nearly free, and never pay retail again. Ahhh, I'm in love with coupons.
