"Pasta is always free, I haven't paid for pasta in years," says Crissy Thompson.

Crissy Thompson tells INSIDE EDITION she can feed her family of five on "$10 dollars or less on a good week."

Crissy's grocery bills were so low that her husband Joe thought something was fishy. "Once she did a $300 actual grocery trip for 2¢, nothing has topped that since."

According to Crissy, "He thought I was doing something illegal."

However, Crissy wasn't doing anything illegal and says you can do it too, calling coupon clipping "incredibly easy."
 
Here's how it works:
- She looks for manufacturers' coupons that she finds online and in the Sunday papers.
- Then, she combines them with already low in-store sales.

It all adds up to super savings!

"I've cut out a minimum of $200 a week," says the smart shopper.

Looking at a receipt from a recent shopping trip, INSIDE EDITION notes Crissy bought $100 worth of groceries, but she paid only $25 dollars!

"Not a bad day," says Crissy.

To show how easy it is to lower your grocery bill, INSIDE EDITION went with her on a trip to the supermarket.  

"Cereal on sale for 2 for $5; I have coupons for two dollars off a box, so it will be 50¢ a box."

One of Crissy's best budget-busting examples happened when she actually made money on the purchase of two bottles of vitamins using a $6 coupon. 

"So I'm essentially spending $3.40 and getting $6 taken off my total."

Using her method of combining coupon savings with in-store sales, she bought $50 worth of groceries but only paid $4! Best of all, she says her family is not deprived; they eat the same store brands as everyone else.

Crissy spends about 2 hours a week cutting coupons, but she says it's well worth the time. For more of Crissy's shopping secrets, visit her website: www.couponcrissy.com.
