I went to the grocery store with all my store coupons and I saved $8.92 off the regular price. I ended up spending $17.75 for 2 pounds of strawberries, 15 pounds of potatoes, 5 pounds of onions, 5.25 pounds of oranges, 1.5 pounds lettuce, 1.66 pounds of tomatoes and $1.99 + .17 tax for a bottle of generic saline nasal spray for my son.

$15.57 groceries

So I spent $15.57 for 30.41 pounds of food. That averages out to 51 cents per pound! I love that. And the great thing is that maybe I'll have .5 pounds of waste in peelings, and everything but the orange peels goes to feed the chickens, so even that isn't really waste. I'll be zesting and drying some orange zest for future use in making orange chicken, too, but probably only about 4 oranges worth.

I may not be able to use regular coupons much for food, but I am thrilled that I was able to save so much on produce this week with the store ones.
