If you have a smart friend who is willing to walk you around the grocery store for 2 hours with a book full of coupons and a Fry's weekly add sheet in hand, you can save a BUCKET load of money! I lucked out. I have one of those friends... and so today we went shopping (and it was fun because I got to see Becky Hermosillo do a dance on the toilet paper isle while singing the "F- R-E-E dance" and I pulled a wagon train of grocery carts through the isles piled FULL of amazing deals all the while asking smart friends "how many do I have" and "how much will this cost" since my brain was on OVERHAUL! I love smart people. To sum it up, I got $602.16 of groceries for the whoppen' price of $199.70!!!

Orson has become my new compadre at the Frys market. We giggle at each other when we get in the car with all the groceries we feel like we've stolen. It is quite a rush, but I do get a math headache also. That's why I'm married to an accountant. Yippee!
Becky and Becky...what a team! You gotta love a good deal!
AHHHH the joy of couponing. I am familiar with it!
There are few things better than a good woman who loves to see how much she save when shopping....but I do think there is a fair amount of entertainment value associated with it as well. Thank you, Becky. You are the best.
AAhh- a legal addiction. You are a woman after my own heart. Congrats on a job well done.
That is AMAZING! I really need to step up my grocery shopping skills!
Holy cow Becky!!! That is awesome! Could you please pass on your secrets to me?
