What Would Laura Spend?

I've been asked to share what my personal price list would be for SE Michigan. Here is a list of the majority of items that I purchase for my family... and the TOP price that I am willing to spend for these products! Usually I am able to spend less if I play my coupons right! Keep in mind that I've been spending coupons for over two years and I have had ample opportunities to stock up on enough of many of these products to be able to hold out until the next sale to replenish our supply!

Many super savvy consumers will keep an ongoing list or the lowest purchase price of their most often purchased items... challenging themselves to hold out for only the best sales... I've compiled this list from my head (lucky you for taking a climb inside... wink!), since I do my best to spend as little as possible without running myself ragged!
