Feb 4 ~ Rockin Pic of the Day!


I went to Enrichment tonight. (pause for gasps of shock!) They had Brother Ken Roesbery come and speak to us. He is known around these parts (Utah) as the GROCERY GURU!!! It was very informative and I came away with lots of great ideas. (Oh and free cans of Chef Boyardee and some coupons...woohoo!) The main thing I learned from him is to plan your meals (breakfast-lunch-dinner-snacks-dessert) around your favorite store's add. Grab the add, sit down and circle all the things you need. Then grab your coupon's (uncut...you only cut them when you are going to use them) and see if any of the things you are purchasing have a manufacturer's coupon to go with the sale price. He says you should be able to get in and out of the grocery store in 30 minutes or less and save 60 to 70% if you take 10 to 15 minutes of planning before hand. Sounds good to me! I am even going to go shopping with him next week!
(He takes groups of ladies shopping and provides the list and the coupons. Should be interesting)
I will have to let you know how and if it works for us!

NICE! I'm so jealous! Tell him we need him up here in Idaho! I'm a coupon clipper and bargain shopper already, but am ALWAYS open to more lessons! Take notes! =)
