I spent the day yesterday finding deals, sorting coupons, and shopping. We needed some groceries, so I figured it was time to do some serious bargain hunting.
I started at Walgreens, went to another Walgreens, Schnucks, Aldi, Kroger, and Piggly Wiggly.
I added up all my purchases last night, all my coupons, the money out of pocket, and the rebates. In all my shopping, I purchased $231.54 worth of items (nearly all were on sale). I used $96.81 in coupons, bringing my total spent to $134.73. I will be getting back $55.97 in rebates, so that's a total of $78.76 spent. I also used a gift card from Walgreens which contained my rebate from last month to pay for $50 or so, so that is only $84.69 out of pocket. I got a few small Christmas gifts, groceries, and a few personal care items.
It's kind of time-consuming, but if you really need to lessen the amount spent at the store, it's worth it!

Are you by chance doing a price book? I'd be esp. interested in Aldi if you have one and are willing to share. I've been trying to start one, but am just swamped with school right now. I figure Aldi is probably the cheapest for pantry staples, but I've not been over there in forever.
