i've joined

I've learned a little bit about how to coupon. One of my neighbors did a little class right before a great sale and so I went and tried my luck! I didn't do too shabby, either. Except I ended up paying more than I thought and wanted because some sneaky little hands grabbed an extra can or two of soup ;) I should have checked it over before I left, BUT there was a lady behind me that looked kind of irritated, haha, so I just left.

I didn't take a picture of it all, cuz I really just didn't want to BUT this is what I got for 10.35.

12 boxes of pasta
2 big things of Sunny D. (which i realized I dont like sunny D, but it was .79 so I thought I'd try.)
2 boxes of cereal
2 boxes of cheez-its
6 Jello temptations (YUM)
bread
2 cans of soup (thanks to warrens sneaky hands)
I think I'm missing something else, but eh.

I saved 40 bucks and we use and like all these things (cept for Sunny D.) So I was pretty proud of myself. I promise this blog wont turn into my super savings. I'm not going to become a crazy couponer but I definitely will try and get what I can!

I was really turned off by couponing at first when all I would see people getting was a bunch of stuff that I didn't really like for the mere fact of getting it free, which I guess is good if you really do like and use that stuff. It's really not as hard as I thought . I was as confused as anyone could get at first so I didn't even try, but now I'm ready to save some moola!!

  1. Good work! I tried the whole Savvy Shopper couponing thing for a couple months. The only thing I didn't like was that there seemed to always be an "off" brand that was cheaper than buying with a coupon. Also, I think I'll get into it more when we actually have a room for food storage, because right now we don't have enough room to store hardly any extras.
