Sort of. I dont do the real or raw foods but I DO feed a family of 5 for under $400 bucks a month. I found that I can buy name brand with a coupon and STILL spend more than if I went generic. Store brand almost always tastes the same, looks the same and smells the same. Granted there ARE some things (In my personal instance- Cottage cheese) that tastes better to me in name brand but shoot, I'm shopping for 5 mouths. I think I deserve the name brand cheese lol Keep up the good work K. You have a phenom website that delivers to much fun and educational information to the everyday "cheapskate". :-) We love you and good luck with the couponing in the future!

I've never been able to figure out the couponing thing either, because I can never find coupons for things I actually buy! I occasionally get sort of guilted into looking into it again after hearing friends talk about how much money they save, but just end up frustrated! My guess is they don't put out coupons for basic raw materials because that's not where the biggest profit margins are. Thanks for posting this on Pennywise Platter Thursday.

What excellent Exposé! I always suspected that would happen if I went coupon crazy and love hearing a more realistic viewpoint of what coupons do to a family's diet. I also usually add in there that since I can do contracting work, I have to subtract the time it takes me to clip coupons from the hours I can work and then I really end up behind! Huzzah!
