I have always been interested to learn how the whole couponing thing works. Well now that I have the semester off from school I actually had time to figure it out. It is amazing what you can save I am still blown away. It has almost turned into a game for me. I now have a problem paying full price for something. The picture above was my shopping trip today (can you tell from the laundry in the background?). Here is the break down.
10 Yoplait Yogurt
8 32oz Gatorade
8 boxes chewy granola bars
2 boxes captain crunch cereal
6 boxes Texas Toast
4 boxes brownie mix
12 boxes that's right 12 boxes of spaghetti noodles
6 packages toll house cookies
5 32oz laundry detergent
5 boxes snuggle dryer sheets
5 containers Clorox wipes
4 containers wet ones
2 boxes keebler cookies (NEVER SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THESE!)
1 box instant oatmeal
3 bags goldfish
64oz Old fashion Oats oatmeal
Log Cabin syrup
5 containers of Soft Soap
TOTAL $273.19
Savings: $209.19
TOTAL OUT OF POCKET: $ 64.00!!!
The guy behind me was blown away! To be honest I was blown away as well. I was also nervous when the cashier told me the total before my coupons. I was wondering if it would really go down like I was thinking and it did!
