My Meijer Shopping Trip this Week---Worth the Effort!

I was more than pleased with my grocery trip to Meijer this week. Of course, I wanted to share. :)

My total before coupons: $73.85

Coupons and catalinas used:$ 50.40

Total after coupons and catalinas: $23.45

Plus I still have a $3 catalina for next week!

I shared all this to say... many people tell me that "I don't have time to coupon." I say, " I don't have the money not to coupon." Was the 40 minutes it took me to print, clip and organize my coupons worth it to me? DEFINITELY!
