My first couponing trip!!

[ScrapyardButterfly]

So I've been reading up on couponing and stockpiling and trying to sharpen my coupon skillz, buying extra sunday papers and keeping an eye out for printables I might use. I've been diligently clipping and organizing, and scanning my sale flyers and this week it seems like the stars aligned for me. I'm planning three trips to separate stores to grab the best deals(they're all very close to me).

So tonight I bought this:

3 Hebrew National Franks
milk
bread
2 emerald breakfast nut mixes
4 Kraft salad dressings
5lb Domino sugar
shower pouf
crispy Chinese noodles
lays kettle chips(my addiction, lol
and a diet coke--also my weakness
and my total before my store card and coupons was 57.46

I used:
2 1.00 off 2 Kraft dressings
1.50 off 2 Emerald nut products
.50 off Domino sugar
Free milk catalina
Didn't have a coupon for the franks, but by watching sales I knew they were rock bottom priced at 1.99 with store card

My grand total was 26.80!! This is fun!!
I hope I do as well with the rest of my trips!

That is a 50% savings! Well done. I don't think I did as well on my first trip.

So, I went out again today and here's what I bought:
4 boxes of Golden Grahams
2 jello temptations snacks
1 small bag of pampers
butter
herbal essences conditioner
a diet dr. pepper
total before my store card and my coupons: 42.07

Then I used:
2 1.00 off two general mills cereals from last week's sunday paper
5.00 pampers catalina
1.00 off any herbal essences product
2 1.00 off refrigerated jello snacks from the sunday paper

Grand total was 24.23, and I got a free milk catalina and 2.00 off five general mills cereals catalina. Woohoo!
