Coupon Crazy!

Just this weekend I decided to jump on the savings train and start clipping coupons. Being a stay-at-home-mom leaves lots of time for me to be able to really go "clip crazy" I ordered the local news paper for delivery every Sunday, and got them for 1.75 each, rather then paying $3 and up to buy in the stores and gas stations. I went to what my friend Amanda calls "coupon mountain" on Saturday morning to scavenger for some coupons! I got more then I know what to do with! but its great! so many good deals! then Sunday my 1st newspaper came right to my door. I spent the morning clipping coupons and planning my 1st shopping trip for toiletries my list was short but I knew the deals i was going to get. So i debated on weather or not i would bring my coupon box with me to the store, and then decided i would because the add can not possibly have everything on sale in it, and gosh I am so glad I did! I went to Walgreen's and Dollar general and got $115 dollars worth of product for $48! not to shabby for my first coupon haul! I am sure ill learn more tricks of the trade as I go along, but for a 1st timer I don't think I did that bad! I loaded up on body wash, shampoo, soft scrub bathroom cleaner, Razors, tooth paste, tin foil, and envelopes. got multiples of each, on top of a few things that were just on sale, w/o coupons. I Cant wait till Wednesday so i can go to coupon mountain again and go find some more deals! My next haul will be grocery shopping on July 3rd! Can't wait for that one it will be so much fun!!!
