New couponer with 2 great shopping trips under my belt!

[lemonpepper]

I did a Ralph's shopping trip last night and purchased 4 Lawry's marinades for a grand total of $2.68! Before store savings and coupons, it rung up to almost $20!

And today, I did a Target shopping trip! I spent $20.90 for:

-3 BenGay products
-1 Morningstar Farms riblets
-1 Country Crock butter product
-1 Bryer's Thin Mint ice cream
-1 Gilette men's body wash
-2 Suave women's deodorants
-2 Glade air fresheners
-2 Spider Man fruit snacks

I saved just under $20 with coupons at Target! So around 50% savings! I'm super excited.. I know it's not too "extreme" like on the TV show, but it's all I need really, and I'm super proud of myself! And these were all products that I would've purchased otherwise tonight. I plan on going back to Ralph's and purchasing more Lawry's marinades and donating them to the food bank tomorrow.

Congrats!! Don't Discount your savings.. 50% is what I'm aspiring to (until I get there, lol)... Right now I average about 25% (which we're still thrilled with!)

Good on ya!

Yay, thats the key. Dont buy stuff you dont need or use. Buy what you would get anyways, just be smart about it by getting it with coupons and sales. COngrats, welcome to the dark side. MUAHAHAHAHahahahaaa
