Couponing WIN!
As you, my three valued readers, may know, I now coupon. It's a hobby.
Today was perhaps my best shopping trip thus far. I will spare you, gentle reader, the gory details, but instead focus on the highlights.
Items gotten for free (yes, I mean free):
6 Betty Crocker Pouch Potatoes
2 Temptations Cat Treats
2 Yakisoba Noodle Meal Things
Items for nearly free:
13 cents each, 9 Hormel Chili with Beans
24 cents, 1 I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray
49 cents each, 3 Bags Birdseye Lightly Sauced Veggies
88 cents, 1 bag of fun-sized Nestle chocolates
The final score is as follows:
Total value of items: $77.81
Total Out of Pocket: $20.65
Total Savings: $57.16
Percentage Saved: 73%
Praise God for He has given me success!

Time invested: between 5 and 7 hours (keep in mind that this is my hobby, not just for the $$)

Woohoo!!! Isn't it fun to snag a good deal? I was a coupon fiend for a few years and got stuff for free all the times. Every now and then, I even got them to pay me to buy stuff. A 99 cent item + 35 cent coupon, when tripled = 6 cents back in my pocket and a free item! Never mind that we never freaking ate the things I got for free... it was the concept that counted :)
haha oh you really have taken and run with it! GOOD FOR YOU! you're doing so well!
I have not yet mastered the art of the coupon..........
