I excitedly told my mom today about saving $60 at H-E-B. When she asked how much I still spent and I told her $100, she rather drabbly said, "oh".

I think she was expecting me to say something like "only $0.75, Mom!" She's been watching too many couponing gurus on t.v. I wish they doubled and tripled there!

Still, for $100 I managed:
-2 Kashi frozen pizzas
-3 bags frozen fruit
-4 lbs italian sausage
-OJ
-apple sauce
-10 lbs ground chuck
-5 jars pasta sauce
-6 Bertolli sauce bags
-5 HEB spaghetti
-7 Ronzoni smart taste
-5 canisters parmesan cheese
-2 tubs organic yogurt
-gallon milk
-carrots
-2 lbs rice
-3 tea boxes
-mascara
-nail polish
-eye lash curler
-foil
-hefty bags
-tomatoes
-8 pk. batteries
-tabasco
-kitty litter jug

I'm glad we love pasta!

great job, you will get there, it just takes time, but you got a lot of meat and that is usually expensive along with the kitty litter (unless you get the cheap clay bags) and batteries. I think you did great with no doubles or triples. Keep up the good work!

Thanks. I know she wasn't really disappointed but she had just seen someone on the telly who took a $250 bill down to like $6 and my story was a little less exciting. They still had to over ride it. Tee hee. I loved shoving all that meat in my freezer.

I think you did great! I am still learning the ropes and I am inspired by how well you did!

My dad is the same way, he keeps seeing the lady on tv and I'll tell how much I save and he says "you got a ways to go". I did impress him a little with my kroger trip last night, it was $51.43 and I got it down to $8.10. That has been my best yet.

Great job

Wow, that is great!
It's really hard to save at HEB. I can go from 100 to 10 at WalMart or Walgreens but I've never done that HEB. I wish they doubled or tripled too or offered more store coupons but according to corporate, then they wouldn't have the "low" prices that they do. LOL
