How to Feed Your Family For $100 a Month

Somebody used a few coupons this week.  Oh wait, that was me.  Ha Ha Ha.  Rolling catalina coupons was the name of the game this week.

Here is how I did it.

To get the ball rolling I first had to pay $1.00 out of pocket for 2 pouches of StarKist Tuna.  For every 2 pouches of tuna I purchased I received a $1.00 catalina coupon.  I was then able to double the $1.00 catalina coupon {which made it now worth $2}.  Essentially, for every 2 pouches of StarKist tuna I purchased, I made $1 in the form of a catalina coupon.  I then went on to “roll” my catalina coupons to purchase things like fresh fruit, vegetables, ricotta cheese, bagels, PEPSI, butter and so on.  I was also able to apply the doubled catalina  coupons to other products to help soak up the cost as well.

Pretty freakin awesome if you ask me.  It looks like we are good on tuna and almonds for the next 6 months.

Here are a few other items I picked up this week as well.

Safeway $.44  The food was actually free.  I did have to pay $.44 for a stamp to mail in the “Try Me Free” offer.

Albertsons $1.35 {for homemade salsa}

Costco $3.69 {for homemade ice cream}

 Amazon/Swagbucks $ FREE

So, all in all not a bad week to be a coupon shopper.  Woot!  How did you do this past week?  Did you buy anything exciting?  Did you use a coupon?
