Coupons......

I'm sure you have either watched or seen commercials for Extreme Couponing on TLC. Well I started watching that show and figured why can't I do that? Sooo I started clipping coupons like a crazy person. My husband goes to our local recycling center and dumpster dives for coupons. I have actually accumulated a lot of coupons.

Here is the loot I got yesterday. I'm hoping to get better at it. I saved $50.00.

The only thing I didn't have coupons for was the eggs, meat and ramen noodles. (they are cheap anyway)
I got the Edy's ice cream for free because I bought 3 boxes of pieroges. (which I had a coupon for)

This dog food was on sale for $5.99 for a 17 lb bag. I had 3 coupons for $1.00 off which the store doubled. So I got each bag for $3.99.

The sale was 10 for $10. I had 8 coupons for .75 off 3 boxes. The store doubled to $1.50. I got 24 boxes for $12.00. So half were free.

I know I need to work on it. I hope to figure it out soon. Those people save crazy amounts of money. I just want to feed my family of 4 not hoard it. Let me know if you have tried to do this and any tips would be appreciated!   Happy Shopping!!!
