I got to get out to lots of stores this week! We had great savings at most until this morning.
Lesson learned today: Shopping quickly just so that a reporter can take your picture can be expensive… it was fun but we could have saved a lot more if I had spent anytime preparing for the trip.
Southern Savers will be featured soon in the Columbia SC newspaper – I don’t get the weekly paper so if you see it in the next week email me!!

This was to get marked down bread, milk and fruit so a great trip for these items!
Bi-Lo: (this was the rough trip this morning)
Total before sales and coupons: $97.14
Total Spent: $50.19
Total Saved: $46.95 or 48.3%
Weekly Totals:
Before Sales: $308.37

We went way over budget thanks to the added trip to a thrid grocery store, however we shouldn’t have to hit a grocery store until after Christmas!
I spent some time figuring up yearly totals to get ready for the end of the year.
Year to date:
Before Sales: $6744.09
Spent: $2190.54 ($43.81 weekly average over 50 weeks)
Saved: $4553.55 or 67.5%
It is amazing to see it all totaled! What’s also wonderful to think of is the lack of stress from having extra money at the end of the month!!
