Major Couponer Alert!

My sis and brother-in-law totally got me into couponing. I always thought that I could get a better deal buying the store brand than I could getting the name brand with a coupon. The problem actually was that I didn't know how to coupon. Once I really got into it and found a couponing site that I love, the savings are really stacking up.

Store: Walgreens
Total out of pocket bill: $24.42The Breakdown:

3 boxes Slim Fast - On sale for $4.99 each (no coupons for these, but that's a good deal) = $14.97
1 package of Charmin toilet paper (6 double rolls) - On sale for $3.49 and $.25 coupon = $3.24
1 bag of kettlecorn popcorn - Clearanced for $2.00 and $.30 coupon = $1.70
1 Dove Shampoo and 1 Dove Conditioner - On sale 2 for $6.00, 1 coupon for $1.00 and 1 coupon for $1.50 = $4.50
1 Sally Hershberger Shagg Spray - retails for $12.99, clearanced for $6.49 and $2.00 coupon = $4.49
2 Glade soy candles - On sale for $3.99 each and 2 $3.50 coupons = $.98
4 Campbell's tomato soups - normally 3 for $4.00, in ad coupon for 2 for $1.00 with a limit of 4, 2 $1.00 off of 2 coupons = FREE
2 Trident Xtra Care gums - On sale for 2 for $2.00 with $1.00 register reward and $1.00 coupon = FREE

I also had $12.00 in register rewards from last week
I love how half my receipt is coupons.
Enough said.
