Yes you read it correctly I am -369.98 OOP for the year as of July 5th.
Few pointers:
1. Coupon (and love it!)
2. Shop the ads for both drug stores and grocery stores (every week)
3. Do mail in rebates!!!(this is how i stock up on meats)
4. Have a yard sale to sell things you have too much of (drug store/grocery store)
5. Splurge on the little things in life since you spent nothing on necessities! :)
6. Keep up with it, keep a spreadsheet of the money coming in and what is going out. I keep this one for grocery store/drug store expenditures and another one for household budget.

7. you pretty much rock!!! :)
Wish I could be so lucky, but we eat mostly fresh or organic and there are very few coupons for that stuff.
there are wine tags for $$$ off total orders, there are wine tags for $$ off produce, and then you work rebates(and make money) and rite aid to pay for the produce and organic items!!! We eat tons of produce and I make all my own baby food from fresh fruits and veggies...it can be done, just be very smart about what you buy where and when. We eat produce that is in season and I stock up on produce and freeze things when it is at rock bottom prices! blueberries, strawberries, peppers, etc...oh and the garden too!
no soft drinks here, but when they are a must cvs and walgreens runs good deals on drinks....never a grocery store. Bread is b1g1 OFTEN and you stock up and freeze it....and i make alot of my bread too. Milk when you can get it at rock bottom freeze it (works wonderful) and use register rewards to buy milk at places like walgreens, where it can be lower than the grocery stores
That is it!!! I am going to follow you like a stalker :) HA HA HA J?K but seriously HOW DID YOU DO THAT??? If I could do that my husband would be sooooo appreciative :)
Thats amazing...I've done OK this year...but after seeing this, I feel like I could do ALOT better....I'd love to see your spreadsheet one day to see what you track.
Keep up the good work! (and keep sharing with us wannabees!)
By wine tags, do you mean tags hanging on bottles of wine?
Wow! I am so proud of you. I need to keep learning more.
