Grocery game update

Because this is just so much fun. :)

This past week was a big bill - I had a bit of sticker shock at the register. Still, it makes sense if you consider that it included:
2 large boxes of diapers
1 large refill package of wipes
1 package of D batteries (for Thomas' swing)
1 bottle of baby wash
3 packages of toothpaste (stocking up on sale with coupons)
10 cans of cream of chicken soup (I have never seen such a good sale on these before!)
and various other groceries such as yogurt, fruit, veggies, cheese, crackers, etc.

Original total: $170.75
Club card savings: $ 46.98
Coupon savings: $ 20.00
Total paid: $103.77

It is amazing how quickly the grocery game pays for itself. This week alone paid for 1/3 of the newspaper subscription for the year. Previous weeks have more than paid for my first 10 weeks of grocery game lists. I'm so glad someone started that company!

2 boxes of diapers? Are you using disposable ones on Thomas?

Not often. However, we use them when we know we'll be out for a long time (like when we're going to church or doing lots of errands) because it is harder to deal with cloth diapers away from home.
