I don't know if I'll be able to do it or not. This week I was able to and only spent $41 if I wouldn't of had to buy strawberries for jam I would have only spent $32.

I always find it fun to challenge myself to that kind of things, although it can get frustrating too. <br /><br />I think you must use WAY more coupons than I do.
