$10 for...

OK so I don't mean to only blog about couponing but I think I had my best deal last night. I was looking through my normal couponing blogs at 10:00 p.m. and realized there was a sale that was only good yesterday so after much debate I ran to the store and this is what I got for $10.38...

10 boxes of kellogg's cereal
1 gallon of milk
1 package of orbit gum
10 orchards juices
and $10 to spend on my next trip.

Total savings $59.50 or 83%

This is so fun for me. I get so excited doing this wouldn't you?

Couponing

What I have learned so far:

While I have only been couponing for a little over two weeks I feel like I have learned a lot. I never new there was so much to learn. I have learned the lingo and what all the acronimns stand for. I have learned what a catalina was and how to use it. I have learned what a doubler was. I have found many wonder couponing blogs that know the really great deals. Most important I have learned how to combine deals and coupons to get lots of free stuff.

I love this and just wish I had known how to do it sooner.

My most recent savings include 8 orchard juices and 2 boxes of bagel bites for $7.30 while getting back $10 to spend on my next shopping trip. So I kindof made $2.70. :)

I bought a lot that day. I went to Walgreens and bought 6 boxes kleenex, 4 kotex boxes, 3 aluminum foil, 3 landry detergents all for $20.59 plus I still have 5 more dollars to spend next time I go in. according to them my savings was $28.38

At Target I got a bag of Halls and 2 things of cereal for $0.39 That was fun!

At Albertsons I bought 15 boxes of fruit snacks, 2 muffin mix, 2 macroni grill pastas, 2 wanchai box dinners, 1 box of cereal all for $21.75 according to them I saved $52.23 (Not my best and as of today the fruit snacks are on sale and combined with coupons and deals you could get them for $0.10 a box and I paid $1.8 a box. That frustrated me but oh well.
