Well, it's not exactly a haul, but I just got the Crest Once weekly polish...free after coupon, and two bags of Purina Cat food for .33 each after $4.00 coupons. I tried to get the Kashi free box, but the ones we like our Walmart doesn't carry :(

I just started using coupons seriously. Went to Giant this weekend and saved $48 off my original total of $106 with the sales and coupons and combining sales and coupons. I only bought 1 thing at full price.

Hi there, this is my first ever post here but Ive been reading a bit.

Yesterday was my first coupon purchase other than a few cents off here and there at the super market.

I got the Throat Coolers at CVS with the B1B1F coupon and got ECBs back. I also had $1.50 ECBs that I used for the purchase. So I paid $4, got two boxes of Throat Coolers and $9.98 back in ECBs!

The best part is that my kids are both sick right now and are loving the Throat Coolers!

*bouncy* Brand new to this site & finally getting serious about coupons thanks to my friend (who coincidentally led me to this site...)! I started seriously couponing on Wednesday & since then I have gotten the following:

1 Bottle of Powerade $1 - $.40 (doubled to .80) = $.20
1 Harvest Oatmeal $2.50 - $1 (doubled to $2) = $.50
1 bag Green Giant Steamers Mixed Veggies $2 - $1 (doubled to $2) = FREE!
2 Reeces Whipped candy bars @ $.89 - $1 (doubled to $2) = FREE!
10 SoyJoy bars for $5 - $5rebate - $3 coupon = -$3.00 back :)
1 SoftSoap sale coupon for $.99 each - $.35 coupon - $.61

I am still so giddy about these purchases!:) YAY!! Now I just have to learn the correct terms to post, HAHAHA!!!

Byeeeee

Yesteday I went to walmart and they had the steamfresh veggies (which my boys just love) on sale for $1.00 I had 30 coupons which were expiriring that day (thanks goodness for 2 freezers in the garage) That made the veggies free. I also pricematched cereal from our super 1 kellogg cereal any kind for 1.49 so I got 20 boxes. hamburger helper was also on sale at our super 1 for .96 so with a coupon 3/1$ so they were around .66 and I picked up 12. So I got

20 boxes of of the boys fav cereal with $1/1 @.49 each
30 bags of veggies $1/1=free
12 boxes of hamburger helper 13= about .66
1 dr pepper (need to kick that habit) at 1.49

total was $64 and some change
oop $24 and some change
I was so excited and so was the lady behind me who will now become a coupon addict as well lol.

I just used my ECB's and the hidden Glade deal to get 6 tubes of the eye ointment I use for my son for a total of less than $4 OOP!

They usually cost me $11 each!

I bought:
9 of the Glade .99 get back 2 ecb warmers (what on earth should I do with them?? :))
Gave 3 coupons for $2 off, paid $3 and tax OOP, got back $16 ecb-should've been $18, but the manager was giving me troubles about the internet printables so I decided to cut my "loss" of 2 ECB to not make him mad and keep my $6 in coupon savings.

Used 3 $3/2 Refresh coupons from the paper
Used the $19.98 in throat cooler ECBs that I got last week with $9 in previous ECBs b/c I had the BOGO coupon.
Used $3 ECB from the free thermacare around christmas
Used the $16 ECB from the Glade

Paid only change.

So I paid the $3.XX from the Glade, and the under $1 from the actual eye ointment purchase. I am THRILLED!

I did give up wuite a few ECBs but I still have $6 to roll so I'll rebuild my stash over the next week-but this was SUCH a great deal for me, because I MUST buy this every few weeks or so for $11 otherwise!

Went to Bloom this weekend because they had triple coupons. Out of pocket was only $13ish. It would have been $5 less but I couldn't pass up the 3 pounds of strawberries for $5! Gave them $10.55 in coupons so that saved me $31.65. Many things were just a few cents and I got free toothpaste! WOOOHOOO! Still not sure how to figure out total savings because the receipt says I saved $51.00. I'm so excited to have found this website...Went to CVS for those throat coolers but they were out of stock. Got Christmas Hershey's kisses for 0.29 a bag. DH is thinking I'm nuts but this is so much fun!
