We Saved $77 on Our Grocery Bill Today!

We made a quick trip to the grocery store today to buy stuff we will use for our upcoming Christmas parties as well as our regular weekly grocery haul for our house.  We always shop sales and use store coupons/the store's app and it didn't dawn on me that we save a lot doing this until the guy behind us in line was watching the cashier ring up our purchases.  She hit total and he watched the total go from around $120 to $45 and he said "wow look at that!".

Using the store's app as well as digital coupons from the store, we bought all of this for $45...

This includes: 5 lbs flour ($2), 4 half cases of soda ($10), 4 lbs bacon ($4), 4 brownie mixes ($4), 3 bags of potato chips ($4.50), 22 oz Starbucks coffee ($6), 4 cans corn ($1), 1 Coffee Mate creamer ($3), 1 lb asparagus ($1), 10 lbs potatoes ($1), 2 boxes of ice cream treats ($5), 2/3 lb deli meat ($2.50), 3 bananas ($1), and 1/2 lb green beans (50 cents).

First we check the store's ad to see what's on sale...

Then we do our shopping, key in our app account number, and see the total...
