My new obsession...

...okay, it's not TOTALLY an obsession YET, but it's getting CLOSE to being one! COUPONING! I'd heard a lot about it and thought it was cool that people could save so much $$$, but I didn't know where to get started. When my friend, Annette, told me that she was going to try it, I jumped on the band wagon!



I BOUGHT:

15 Boxes Post Cereal ~ .57 per box
6 Cans Dole Pineapple ~ .45 per can
3 Kraft Salad Dressing ~ .08 per bottle
2 Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce ~ 1.00 ea (not real cheap, but I love it!)
1 Two Liter Pop ~ Free
1 Johnson's Buddies Soap ~ Free (actually made .03 on this)
1 Colgate Toothpaste ~ Free (made 1.00 on this)
3 Oust Spray Disinfectant ~ .99 per can
1 Halls Cough Drops ~ .18
1 Johnson's Baby Lotion ~ 1.14 (not real great, but was $2 off)
1 Box Fruit Snacks ~ .52 (again, not real great, but about 1/2 price)

I PAID: $17.21 (before Tax) If I would have paid retail for these items at the respective store's price, my actual total would have been $119.08 (before tax).

Not too shabby for my first time trying this whole coupon craze!

Good haul Julie! I got cereal for just the $.67 cents. I haven't started getting the paper yet to get all the coupons, (next week...) But I'm so very excited to get on it! Have fun and happy couponing
