I did take a picture of our finds to post, but then I accidentally deleted them....I'm still learning how to use i-photo.
Anyway, imagine if you will, a table full of groceries for a grand total of $7.26....an average of $0.33/per item. That included, peanut butter, spaghetti sauce, paper plates, shampoo, pasta, juice etc...Our pantry is beginning to look fuller by the weekend. We're stocking up with *free* supplies from that weeks local deals. Instead of making weekly trips to Winco, we're doing more local trips for good deals and then shopping our pantry and freezer.
It's been an exciting adventure and we're still learning the ropes. This coupon world has specific rules and stealth players. For example, today was the first day of the new weekly deals. We had our route all mapped out. We had our coupons bundled according to the grocery store. But, by the time we made it to Walgreens, some of the products were already cleared out by other coupon players....mmmm....we have some competition on our hands, we thought. And yes, apparently we are not the only coupon shoppers in our small town. I think we may have to plan a little earlier to get a jump start with these other savvy players.
We will keep you posted with how that goes. =)

Walgreens restocks several times per week, just ask when they'll be restocking those items. LOTS of couponers in Newberg. I've been doing it for about a year-and-a-half. Fun eh?
good job Lissa an Nate
Oh, good suggestion Heidi! I didn't know you were into couponing. Any "insider" information that you know about with Newberg? We've been hitting up Sherwood stores too because it's so close to our church. I don't think as many people in Sherwood are into coupon clipping....at least the shelves seem to be more stocked.
i enjoy these coupon listing reads. sounds like you guys are doing Great! where might one aquire such coupons? cheers.
