Building an emergency food stock in a frugal manner

[Kaleva]

3. Went shopping yesterday with 3 more $5 coupons

$25.93 - $5.00 coupon = $20.93
$26.37 - $5.00 coupon = $21.37
$26.28 - $5.00 coupon = $21.28

As I mentioned in the OP, everything I buy is consumed on a regular basis so there's nothing sitting on the shelves for months or years only to be tossed out. That wouldn't be frugal! Plus, I got 3 more $5.00 coupons good for this coming Saturday.

The lady at the checkout said i could save even more by signing up for digital coupons which I did last night. At home, I sign in and select the coupons I want. When I go to the store and at the checkout, I put in my phone number at the card reader and the sale items will be automatically discounted as they are scanned. as long as the balance is above $25, I then can apply the $5 coupon.

At the DG Coupon site is an option to select a $5 coupon. This would give me a total of 4 such coupons allowing me to purchase a $100 worth of items for just $80.
