The Penny Experiment has officially begun on Palmetto State Saver!
I hope you will follow me along in this journey to help provide ONE MILLION DOLLARS of food for food banks!
I wanted to get these trips done before the new ads started tomorrow, so the baby and I braved the cold today and got some AWESOME deals!
We stopped by Walgreens to pick up this:
These were on sale for $14.99 with a $5 Register Reward when purchased.
Total -14.99
Used $30 coupon
=$1.60 tax due
Got back $5 Register Reward
Total Saved - $59.99
I know this won't count towards the challenge, since it's not food - but it will still be donated and hopefully will help someone. It also helped us in our couponing mission today. My $5 Register Rewards will be used as a competitor coupon at our next stop - PUBLIX!
Here's what I got:
4 Boxes of Nabisco Saltines
2 Quaker Quick Oats
4 (4) packs of FiberOne Yogurt
Total Due: NOTHING!
After coupons, PUBLIX OWED ME ELEVEN CENTS! I tried to convince the cashier that just getting them all for FREE was enough, but she insisted on giving me the "change" that my receipt said I was due!
Total Saved: $25.68
So my total spent today on $25.68 worth of food was NEGATIVE eleven cents! If I include the glucose monitor, I still only spent $1.09 on $85.67 worth of product! Amazing what you can do with coupons!

Great start! I love having my cabinets full to the brim and then being able to fill up 4 big boxes to take to the food bank in our area. My first big donation was before Christmas. I just felt...good (smile).
