Great brags,

Did my first buy with coupons today. I'm still a bit hesitant since I've NEVER used coupons before so I thought I'd start small.

I went to my local Wal-Mart today and bought 1 pkg pens (10 ct), 3 packs of razors (36 total), 2 boxes of cheerios, 2 packages of oreo minis, 1 scrub sponge and 4 packs of Reach floss. Total came to $18.72 and I paid $6.97 for a 63% savings. The pens, floss and sponge were all completely free.

I know it's not much but I feel like I hit the jackpot. I am now a true believer and will never shop without coupons again!!

I don't know if all you seasoned couponers would agree -- but my husband was certainly impressed.

I sent my husband out to CVS last night to get 6 bottles of Pantene at CVS 3 for $9.99 and one Mitchum deodorant 1.99. Unfortunately, the Mitchum coupon was not in my inserts so I had to go without.

Anyways, I gave him (3) $3 of 2 Pantene coupons.
And, a printout coupon that I got from CVS that took $4 of $20.
And, one CVS giftcard for $10 that I got last week for buying whatever it was (LOL can't remember).

He came home and said "wow, that was impressive" -- he loved that he only had to pay 14 cents. However, I was a little bummed because the Mitchum coupon was not in my inserts and it's what I like to buy.

Anyways -- a good day for me!

Ok - my sister and I have just recently started couponing and we went to publix and we planned out our meals ( based on sale merchandise) then went through our coupons and we spent 77.84 after coupons and save $82.54 .... I would say that isnt too bad ... I was THRILLED!!!

Alright, not as good as some of you ladies have done, but I'm a novice and this is my first "big deal" using coupons and matching sales/coupons. So here's what I got:

2 Revlon PhotoReady Foundations marked 75% off
Blistex 3pk
2 bottles of Wisk (BOGO) and
2-3 count Schick Quatro Titanium Razors.
With my sales and coupons I paid a little over $32.00 and I had a savings of $48.36 AND I have $12 of ECB for next time. =] I'm sold on couponing!
