This isn't the best shopping trip I've had, but I needed things and they were at a good price range. So far this month I've saved $364.64 at 52.6%


I was very surprised to learn that you don't have to buy the whole case at a caselot sale. Thanks to Colette and Melinda for posting this on their blogs, otherwise I would have had no idea!

NEW BLOG!

I am in the process of becoming a Grocery Smarts instructor for the Las Vegas area. I tallied up my receipts for this past week and I paid $37.01 for $138.37 worth of groceries-and it wasn't all junk food, in fact the only junk food I got was 2 bags of doritos and 1 box of cheez its.

This website will serve as my way of passing on the things I've learned to others in order to help everyone save money on their groceries. I have seriously cut my grocery bill in half, but have purchased way more groceries for the month than I would have with my previous way of shopping for groceries.

Please let me know if you have any questions at any time, and I will do my best to get back with you quickly and help you save money too!

To start off, I would like to introduce you to grocerysmarts.com
