Everyone has a different grocery budget, so the answer to this question will be different for everyone.
Because I coupon to the extreme, my budget is ridiculously small, but it didnt' start off this way.
The first few months that I started to use coupons, I saved 10-15% each week. It takes a few months to really build a supply of coupons, and during that time you're still learning out how to use them all).
My savings gradually grew as did my excitement!
Less than a year ago I was spending $100 per week on groceries. Check out what I'm spending now (click on any date to view my shopping trip):
Feb. 3 I SAVED $124 and only spent $.35
Feb. 6 I SAVED $125 and only spent $1.07
Feb. 16 I SAVED $218 and only spent $6.35
Feb. 24 I SAVED $235 and only spent $.94
That's $702 worth of groceries for only $8.71.
Just like the fine print on weight loss products; these results aren't typical. But man, they sure are fun!
