Yes, I think couponing and bargain shopping is worth it.
This is what we had for dinner the past two nights:
Saturday-
3.99 broiled turkey tenderloin (Favorite four at Acme, minus $1 coupon)
Cheesy hash brown casserole-
2.50 hash browns (still on sale at Acme for this price)
free can of chik soup (coupons that doubled)
free shredded cheddar cheese (Kraft catalina deal combined with coupons)
0.33 sour cream ( a third of a 0.99 container)
free box of Green Giant veggies (GM catalina deal combined with coupons)
1.00-incidentals, pat of butter for casserole, salt, pepper, seasonings
Final-$7.82, total of six servings or $1.30 each.
BTW-I really liked the Hash Brown Casserole. I left out the onions because hubby didn’t want them, and I wasout of corn flakes. Very yummy!

Sunday-
2.83 chicken scallopini (clearance chicken!)
0.59 box of penne
free jar of alfredo sauce
0.88 fresh broccoli
1.00 incidentals, bit of olive oil for sauteeing, garlic, salt, pepper
Final-$5.30, fed the four of us tonight, enough pasta left over for boys to take for lunch one day.
So about $1.25 per serving.
Yes, this is why I think it’s worth it. The boys had free Eggos for breakfast, topped with almost free syrup (I think it was $1 a bottle, but I really limit how much they can use). And a banana, but what does a banana cost? And milk. For lunch they had a free gogurt, a PB&J with free PB&J, I only paid for the bread. And milk and they split an orange which was $0.50. And above I listed our dinners. So yes, I absolutely think it’s worth the extra effort. Now, if I can just keep up with the boys as hungry teenagers!
