5 loaves and 2 fish...

This kinda reminds me of that story where Jesus fed all those people with the 5 loaves and the 2 fish.

These "coupon queens" have come up with a number of ways to substantially reduce spending in the grocery store.  One woman claims to have fed her family of 5 on $10/week (on a good shopping day).

Living by myself for the last 4 years, I thought I knew a thing or two about surviving on a few dollars a week but apparently these women know a lot more than me! 

Check out this other lady's story... I saw her on Inside Edition today. 

"We not only talked to the manager of the store about it, we talked to corporate headquarters in Rhode Island.

Her first total is $1.05. "It would have been $14. I paid $1.05 and I just got money back, Extra Care Bucks."

Then she places the next items on the counter and this time uses the extra care bucks to pay. "It would have been about $25. I just paid $1.61."

This is the way it goes for five transactions. At the end, Crissy has a bag full of household items ranging from toothbrushes to Tums. Her total would have been $140.00. I ask "How much did you pay?" Her answer, "Under five dollars."

Considering how much I love food and how much I love to keep my money... I plan on using some of these methods the next time I go grocery shopping. Ain't nothing better than FREE.
