Shop N Save: $10 off $50 Scenario

I get asked quite often how do I save so much on groceries. Well to answer that question I will be trying to post a weekly $10 off $50 scenario at Shop N Save.

I am also going to be basing all of these scenarios on buying 5 Sunday Papers each week (the number of papers I buy) and trying to hit the $50 mark as close as possible.

And if you don't follow along exactly, hopefully this will give you a good idea on how I put together my plans and how you can put yours together!!

I have been doing it this way for as long as I can remember and I often share MY scenarios with  friends and co-workers!

Unfortunately, this isn't the greatest sale week at Shop N Save, but hopefully after a few weeks you will start to notice a difference in your grocery budget!

With that said... Here you go!

And like I said before, this isn't the best week for sales, but as you can see, you can still do pretty good! The above scenario is a 62% savings, AND that is just off sale prices! When compared to actual retail costs, your savings will be even MORE!

TIP: What I typically like to do, is use any FREE product coupons I might have, like the cottenelle fresh wipes coupon from a few weeks ago. By doing this you can spread that $10 off $50 and $5 off $50 even further!

Hope this helps you to keep saving!! And feel free to come back and share your scenario!!
