 First timer...
I went today with very high hopes. I was so excited to go grocery shopping, first time in my life!
I went to Bilo-
BC savings=44.75
Coupons savings=17.91
Extra coupon savings?=3.15
My total was 130.88
I spent $66.52
Saved $65.81
PUBLIX
Vendor coupons=7.65
store coupons=1.99
advertised special savings=27.43
Total Paid=37.23
Total saved=$37.47
I feel so let down, I worked soooo hard I mean I spent hrs and hrs getting ready...I feel cheated that I did not have more in coupons!
I guess I did ok, I just need to buy chkn and ground turkey. I usually spent about 250 on grocerys for 2 weeks I usally only buy walmart brands and what we need-no extra boxes of stuff...so at the rate I am going I will send about 130. Thats 120 difference! That is way cool! I also bought name brand this time and extras that we can start a stock pile with.
I guess I did ok...please tell me I did. i just want to get to the point that I walk out of the store and saved WAY more than I spent. I would love to cut the bill down to under 100, am I dreaming?
Thanks to all who helped me this last week for my adventure today! it is very much appreciated! :)

Milk, meat, produce, etc all add up so you'll very rarely spend $5 for every single thing your family needs. The key is saving on things you use regularly and stocking up when it's on sale and matched with a coupon. After awhile, you'll have a stockpile of things you really use....that's when you can get the grocery bill very low (think only buying meat, milk, produce and a few incidentals) and replenish the stockpile. 
If I have it, it's yours!!!
