Couponing!

Cassie and I are attempting couponing.  At first it was kind of a nuisance because we felt like we had all these coupons but couldn't use any of them or we weren't really able to get the things we want.  But we've been keeping an eye out and have had our first couple of "couponing" trips to the store.  Here are our small success stories :)

Trip 1:
Albertson's
2 - 4 lb bags of sugar
14 - Tillamook Yogurts
20 - Fuze

Retail Value: $53.08
Paid: $18.46
Total Savings: 65%

 
Trip 2:
Albertson's (on a different day)
4 - General Mills Cereals
2 - Colgate Total Advanced Toothpastes
3 - Suave Women's Deodorant

Retail Value: $29.51
Paid: $5.61
Total Savings: 81%

We also got a coupon for a free gallon of milk after buying the cereal.

I just had to include this picture.  Check out the front receipt.  In this transaction we bought the 3 deodorants.  We only paid $0.09!!!  That's only three cents per stick!  Awesome!!!!  We still have plenty to learn about this stuff but we are pretty pumped after seeing what we've already been able to save on.
