Two weeks ago, I could buy a gallon of milk for under $3. Today it&#8217;s $3.48 at the cheapest store in town. Extreme times call for extreme measures and so, a few months ago when prices started to rise I tried my hand at couponing. Not the kind where crazy people buy 80 bottles of mustard for a dollar, but using coupons to purchase things I would normally buy and use. And while there were some good deals to be had (I once got 6 bottles of Spray&#8217;n Wash for $4), if you happen to live in a state without double-coupon deals, it&#8217;s a lot of work for a few dollars off. However, those dollars add up and there were times I saved close to 30% off my grocery bill. But I knew I could do better. I was still spending $400 or more a month to feed my family.]]>Sun, 13 Nov 2011 00:00:24 -0500<![CDATA[Megan Fox]]>https://pjmedia.com/megan-fox/2011/11/13/i-saved-230-a-month-at-the-grocery-store-with-extreme-cooking-n137744
