How Much Is The American Dollar Worth In This Sluggish Economy?


More than you can imagine if you have COUPONS! We LOVE coupons! Today, we bought 26 boxes of Kellogg's cereal, 6 boxes of Kellogg's Pop Tarts, 12 bags of Meow Mix cat treats, 31 tubes of Crest toothpaste, 1 pack of Kool-Aid, 3 jugs of Downy fabric softener (40 loads each), 10 gallons of milk, and 15 pounds of potatoes for a whopping $3.06!

Retail Price: $281.87
We Paid: $3.06
Saved: $278.81

That's a savings of 98.9%

It certainly wouldn't be right if we didn't thank our Lord for His provision. God has been so good to this family and has faithfully provided for our every need. In addition to God blessing us, when we have extras, we have the opportunity to be a blessing to others.

Hey I didn't know you were a coupon clipper...So was I...You may have me beat...my grocery receipt was close to $100.00 but I only paid .25 cents... I saved that receipt for 10 years and finally tossed it. I still have shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, glass cleaner spray, storage zip bags, saran wrap, soap, toothpaste, and toilet bowl cleaner stored in my storage room. I ran out of gallon size bag just a few months ago....LOL I started clipping coupons 45 yearts ago when I had my first son...got lots of diapers and toys free... you'll have to let me know what you clip..you can have my coupons. I have access of getting more if you want....
