So I think I did pretty good today! :)

Went to Smith's and combined P&G E-Saver coupons with paper coupons and bought:

Herbal Essence Shampoo & Conditioner
2/$6.00 - $1.00 (ESaver) -$1.00 (paper) = 2/$4.00

Pampers Baby Wipes 77ct
$2.59 - $1.50 (catalina) -.25 (ESaver) = .84

Pampers Baby Dry Jumbo
$9.77 - $1 (ESaver) -$2.00 (paper) = $6.77 or .12/diaper!

Grand Total = $12.91

Not too bad. :-)

1st Transaction
10 Kraft BBQ sauce WAS $2.49 on sale for $.99 = $9.99
- $5.00 from EPIC promo
Total = $4.80 + 5 $1 catalinas

2nd Transaction
10 Kraft BBQ sauce $2.49 on sale for $.99 = $9.99
- $5.00 from EPIC promo
- $1.00 catalina
Total = $3.90 + 5 $1 catalinas

3rd Transaction
2 Lemons @ 2/$1.00
- $1.00 catalina
Total = $0.00

4th Transaction
2 Lemons @ 2/$1.00
- $1.00 catalina
Total = $0.00

5th Transaction
1 Oroweat Bread WAS $4.29 on sale for $2.50
- $1.00 catalina
Total = $1.50

6th Transaction
1 Franz Bread WAS $3.19 on sale for $2.00
- $1.00 catalina
Total = $1.00

7th Transaction
1 Tasters Choice instant coffee WAS $1.29 on sale for 10/$10
4 32oz CoffeeMate Creamers WAS $4.29 on sale for $2.50
- $2.00 Nestle savings
- $.50 Tasters Choice coupon DOUBLED = $1.00
- $1.00 CoffeeMate coupon DOUBLED = $2.00
- $1.00 CoffeeMate coupon DOUBLED = $2.00
- $1.50 CoffeeMate coupon
- $1.00 catalina
Total = $2.00

Total would have been $78.32 for all this. I only paid $13.90. That's a savings of 82%! Plus I still have $5.00 of catalinas left! Needless to say, I'm very proud of myself. =)
Did you do all 7 transactions at one time? If so, do the cashiers get a little mad when you do that? I can't get up my nerve to separate my transactions!

Default Re: Newbies ~ Post Your 1st Brag

I have used coupons on and off in the past, but I never really had enough at one time to make much of a difference...til now. I made my first trade yesterday from the coupon database and I've been looking closer in the magazines I read for coupons.
I have 3 children that are not quite school age yet (my oldest starts this fall) so I have to cart them everywhere I go so one stop shopping is very helpful for me. Wal-Mart has a price match guarentee so collecting other stores sale ads and combining with coupons can get you some pretty good deals!!
I'm glad I found this site. Thanks Hot Coupon World!!!!

Well, I'm just getting back into serious couponing after years of just hit-and-miss coupons, but a couple of weeks ago I did get $143 of groceries at Krogers for only $84 with the in-store specials and coupons combined. :D Hoping that I can go get a new printer in the next week or two to grow the savings again.
Baby food/formula coupons were always my faves- I used to go get $30+ of baby food for $3 or $4 each time I went.

I don't have my receipts with me to give the breakdown, but my husband and I went to Kroger and Tom Thumb last night. We spent 122.00 total at both stores and saved 94.00.

With family coming to town, I had to think quick and hard about the menu. So I checked my coupons and sure enough I had everything ready. Went to the store and picked up what I was going to need plus a few other items that they would be taking back with them. total bill before coupons was a staggering $130.58. Which I wasn't upset with being that they were here for a week. But after coupons my bill went to $42.18. This made my day and gave us some spending money for shopping. YEAHhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! We all had fun and enjoyed our time together, and we didn't spend another dime shopping. HCW.... you are AWESOME!!!!
