I have been trying to use up part of my stockpile. But, the purpose of stockpiling is to stock up when prices are at their lowest, then ride out the high priced days without spending. So...I did break down and SHOP some of the seasons sales.
The first store had some good sales...Oust for $3, but I had $2 coupons, so $1 each. Wishbone, not my favorite salad dressing, but a few flavors are okay, and BOGO plus a $1 coupon came to FREE (it actually printed that on my receipt, since the price was less than 0). Lipton sides, 10 for $10 means $1 each, and doubling a 50 cent coupon...FREE.
And so it went.
Total before savings: $87
Total AFTER sales/coupons: $17
AND...$7 catalinas good on next purchase of anything at the store.
Second store, well, I did go back to Safeway with my coupons to see if they had restocked the clearance items...and they had! $72 of spices, $8. Okay, I bought 2 apple fritters too...$9 total.
Total before: $72
Total after: $9 
Total Savings: $159 for $26, $133 saved. I sense another article coming out of this...
Current savings:
2006 $20 challenge: $4351
2006 grocery savings: $6015
