ETA: I also have two Coffee Mate creamers, that were not in the picture cause I put them in the fridge when I got home cause I had to feed Cam, and I forgot to take them back out for the picture! So, this plus two liquid creamers! (peppermint mocha and french vanilla in case you were wondering!)
Okay, why have I NOT been using coupons all my life? I mean really! I am so amazed that this is possible!
I used to be a non-coupon cutting, full price paying, sale oblivious shopper. But no longer! Do you remember this post ? I started a while back learning how to "coupon". But I just kept getting more pregnant, which means more lazy, and more overwhelmed by any old simple task. So, I gave up on the couponing for a while. Well, now that I am un-pregnant, and not so lazy, and able to figure out (minor) complicated things again (haha), I decided to get back to the couponing. And I have!
And I will only get better. Had I been saving coupons from weekly circulars prior to this Sunday, I could have probably save an additional 2+ Dollars!
I am pretty excited with myself. Also, today my Dad and I took the kids to Cabelas. He had two coupons, and we looked them over before we left the house. He decided which coupons was the best deal, and he put the other coupon in my trash. I quickly pulled it back out (even though it said only one coupon per offer) because of my new knowledge of "couponing". I said, maybe you can use both, to which my Dad replied "it says only one!" I took the coupon anyhow. It was $10.00 off, with no minimum purchase. So when we went up to the cash register, my Dad grabbed the better coupon, and gave it to the cashier. Then I said "Can he use this coupon too?" And the lady very nicely said "Sure". So he got $70 off from his coupon, and then $20 off of the second. I am really not sure HOW he got $20 instead of $10. but either way, it worked out great!
If the lady hadn't let us combine the coupon, I was going to grab $12.00 in candy by the registers and pay the $2.00 plus tax just to use the $10.00. Hey times are tough around here now-a-days. :)

That is awesome savings! Do you go to grocerygame.com? Sounds like you do it all on your own, but you can download more coupons there for free! When I get serious about my coupons, I manage to save a pile of money, too! Earlier in the fall, I got $26.00 worth of cold remedies/lip balm/childrens pain reliever for free (after rebate) at RiteAide.
