Extreme Couponing
I just finished my trip from shopping for the first time with my coupons! I must say I am tired, but extremely excited. After having a coupon swap session and cutting out session with my friend, "S. B.," I went to get a Madison County Herald. The Madison County Herald is a free newspaper, which has both the Red Plum insert and the SmartSource insert (if you are lucky maybe 2 or 3 in the same paper). After cutting out some and filing away the other inserts (idea thanks to S.B.), I began the process of comparing weekly ads, comparing coupons, and making a list. In the end, I had a list and coupons for CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, and Rite Aid. Then I found a three prong folder with pockets. I placed inside sheet protectors. The coupons were paper to each shopping list (which was for a specific store). On each list, I wrote than a brief description of item, sale price, and amount of coupon. I file my coupons in a small photo album, so it's convenient for me to have them in case I see something on sale that I have a coupon for. Also, I put a SmartSource and Redplum extra insert in the back pockets, and a pantry list, along with next week's menu in the front pocket. My first stop was RiteAid. I spent 7.53 on Kelloggs Cereal and Pringles. I saved $7.88. Next stop was Walgreens. This trip was more complicated. Some of the items I had written down included a coupon from the paper. We had to find a sales paper and show the coupons. Next time, I will clip out the coupons in the paper. Also, I learned to paper clip my list and coupons to the current sales paper. I had to get a raincheck (my first one) on the sugar. That felt so powerful. :) (Yes, pretty lame, but oh well!) I spent $25.20. I saved $17.67, plus I received $2 off my next purchase!! Next stop was Kroger. In addition to the coupons, I had digital coupons on my Kroger card. Yes, I was able to get my Magnum Ice Cream... (can't wait for the kids to go to sleep for me to devour all three! LOL! Yes, I will be at the gym in the morning!! I spent $46.82. I saved a total of $12.43. My last stop was CVS. I saved $20.38 plus I received a $4.00 coupon off my next purchase. I spent only $17.87. What a shopping trip! Saving that much money felt so empowering. YAY!!! I am excited about this saving money journey. Total saved, including coupons, came to a total of $64.36. Couponing is my new hobby.
