I was on vacation this week and didn't go till Friday. (Usually go on Thurs. night). DH noticed that our grocery list is getting smaller due to shopping for staples at Walgreens, Walmart, and CVS. I had been spending around 120.00 each week at Ingles. This week was the least I think I have ever paid. My total was 102.23 before coupons and the grand total was 82.93. It has amazed both of us how much we have saved since March 2009. I asked him the other day if he had any idea how much I had saved so far, and he said "not really but I would say over 500.00." Boy was he suprised when I told him 1200.00!!!! He said, "Baby, I sure am proud of you. I know you spend a lot of time to save money and it is worth it." Yes, I melted into a little puddle when he said it, because I know he was so sincere. I just love AFC and all the good and helpful people. God Bless you all!!!!
