Well, I think every day is a good one for couponing, but this one held some great deals. And also opportunities to USE those deals. Our whole day we ate well off the bounty of coupons.
In the morning, W and B got up early to go to the YMCA with me, so we all had a Fiber Plus granola bar before we went. I took all my stuff and my coupon binder for a trip to Randall's after we were done. Early Monday morning is my favorite time to shop. The clearance bins are full from the weekend and I can get meat, yogurt, and other things at 30-50% off BEFORE coupons. This morning I got a dozen yogurts all almost free. There were hot dogs (uncured healthy ones) in the clearance bin ($3.99 - 50% off, and with a $2 coupon) that were free. Buying them also scored me another coupon for the same product next time. We bought the seasonal sale cucumbers and tomatoes and mushrooms.
So here were the lunch and dinner I made from today and the past coupon trips. Lunch - veal tenderized steaks from the clearance meat with sauteed mushrooms, rolls and stuffing from the freezer and pantry. Then dinner was a Stouffer's Lasagna (dirt cheap AND a coupon!) with asparagus and a homemade cucumber and tomato salad. We had yogurts for desserts through the day. I think that was pretty balanced and took minimal effort to be able to put a semi-homemade dinner on the table.
