Extreme Couponing.

Have you seen TLC's latest hit show extreme couponing? It is awesome!! People will go to the grocery store and their bill will be like $5,000.00 and after coupons and the stores reward program, it turns out to be only like $50.00!!! Well, I have started to get into this because for starters you can save a lot of money, plus it gives me something to do, and I enjoy the challenge.  Well, my most recent shopping adventure was one of my biggest ones ever, and for starting out I think I did pretty good!  If we didn't have to move, I would have stocked up more like extreme couponers do...but at the same time, I can find better deals than what I got, because people will get money back after some coupons!
Anyways, my most proud purchases...
Ragu:            regular price: 3.49............ I paid: 0.99
Powerade:    regular price: 1.59............ I paid: 0.50
Jeffs pick....
Lunchables:   regular price: 2.69............ I paid: 1.00

Total Savings on the whole bill was 46% !!!!! woot woot!

I know its half of what the true extreme couponers save, but hey I didn't spend 40 hours on preparing this shopping trip! Also, one thing I learned....on the show they stand and make sure everything scans correctly..which I should have done because some things didn't scan right, and I only noticed after when I looked at the bill.  I have learned that now though, wont happen again!
Anyways, I was proud of my shopping trip savings!!
