Super Savings Sundays 7-5-09

Welcome to the first post of "Super Savings Sundays"


I'll be posting each Sunday about the super deals I found at the stores that week. I'll be letting you know if I used coupons and where I shopped. I hope you can take this information and run out for your deals before they expire on Tuesday. Good luck ...

So there it is my shopping this week. We also ordered three boxes of food from Angel Food Ministries for a total of $120.00. If you don't know about this GREAT service check them out at this link http://www.angelfoodministries.com/ With the food we've begun to stock pile and our food from Angel Food it is my plan to begin to spend no more than 30.00 each week on food, 15 on what we need for the week and 15 on replacing our stock pile. Hopefully with careful planning we'll be able to get buy on about $250.00 a month for food to feed 5. Keep watching and see how we do.
