Would you guys say im on the fast track?

I went shopping at Jewel Osco this week. My total was $301 and with coupons and my store card I managed to bring it down to $64.99. I have only been using coupons a month so Id call this an accomplishment! What do you guys think?

Thats geat! but keep in mind its great if you bought things you would usually buy and use. I know several people that jump in and end useing coupons and buying things that they would have never bought and/or used just because it was a good deal on the items. Not saying that is what you did but so many do let this happen to them.....but yes you did good price saving wise

If you are saving any kind of money you are doing well. It gets better and better with time so continue using those coupons!

I totally get what you guys are saying!!! I hate to see people on (get ready for the bad example) ExtCoup bragging about having 300 packages of dog treats, but no dog!
My haul consisted of:
Laundry soap
Fuze Slenderize (hubby has to have a resealable drink at work)
Frenches Mustard
Hot dogs
Hot dog buns
and beer (for my grandma)

So all things that we will use.
Thanks for all the great replys. You guys are awesome!! Prob the best coupon website I have yet to come across.

If buying 300 dog treats gave me overage that I could use to pay for the laundry soap, mustard ect and I could donate the treats to the animal shelter, why not? Dogs LOVE treats and I love overage when I can get it! win/win.

You did awesome!

Thats true, and you can always donate your "overage" items. Great job! I'm new too, and am slowly learning about what people are talking about on this thread.

Good job. I am new to this too and you did wonderful for only couponing a month. Hope I am able to save at least $100 on my next shopping trip. I would be tickled pink!
