Grocery Saver!

So this weekend, the boyfriend and I have decided to do a major shop together. We'll start at super walmart and go from there (no comments from the uber industry haters, thanks). We chose to go to a Super Walmart so that there would be better deals, and the closest one to us is 30 miles out of the city- so we're also lucking out and hitting up a SUPER Stop & Shop (which excites me) and Shaws, because those were the two closest grocery stores near the Super Walmart we're going to.



Being the crazy coupon lady that I am- I have decided to take it one step further, and map out our shopping day, by taking advantage of the grocery stores websites. There have been times that I get serious anxiety while grocery shopping because I'm wondering if I could have gotten it somewhere else for less. By utilizing Shaws and Stop & Shops online circular, which allows you to "add items" to a virtual grocery list- which you can then print out (OH SNAP) - I can shop confidently knowing im SAVING. Plus, the fact that the boyfriend and I are splitting virtually everything helps, that way we CAN buy in bulk and spend what we would for a quick shop.



So what I've done is added everything I thought we would be interested in purchasing (grocery, meats, cheese, toiletries, etc) that are on sale- We'll start at walmart, taking our handy lists with us, and if it's cheaper at walmart- we buy it there- if not we go to the grocery store :). To add a lil Emeril BAM! to it and take our savings one step further, we're also waiting until Sunday to shop, so that we can get the Sunday paper, cut the coupons, and save big. We'll hit up breakfast on the way out and get to the stores before the Sunday drivers get out of church.



I'll update our spending vs. savings after the weekend..

here's our cool list
