This was my first trip to the store with coupons and I got all this, (Normal retail price $31.00, for $12.35), the bbq sauce and Tabasco were .23 a piece, the Mayo $1.69 and the Cleaner for .94 cents a bottle.
Now this was my shopping trip yesterday. All this for $7.00 Normal retail price, $26.50. Coupon shopping is so much fun once you get everything organized and you know how. It's time us ladies did our part to try and start saving money during these hard times. The stick of deodarent was normally $3.00, it was on sale for $1.76 and I had a coupon for $1.50 off so there for, I got it for .26 cents. The toothpastes were .25 cents a piece but the best deal of the day are the bottles of dressing, I had six coupons for $1.50 off any Kraft dressing and the regular price is $1.58 a bottle so I got 6 bottles of salad dressing for, drum roll please, .48 cents. All of this stuff is great for food storage, and when your getting it for pennies on the dollar it's even better. Now this is how I do it. I went and bought a three ring binder and some baseball card sleves to put my coupons in, the sleves are a great way to keep your coupons organized and seperated. Now I get three Dailey herald papers delivered to my home every Sunday, the Sunday paper has all the good coupons. So I have three sets of coupons delivered, Brads mom brings me hers and Brad brings home the paper from his work every Monday so there for I have 5 sets of the same coupons. I start clipping only the coupons I know I will truley use and put them in the folder, there's a page for condoments, bathroom supplies, frozen foods, ect. I take my folder everytime I go to the store, (I always find the best deals at Wal-Mart). With the deodarent, it is regularly $3.00 a stick but I wated until it went on sale for $1.76 and used my $1.50 off coupon and got it for .26 cents, again ladies, great for food storage or to stock up the pantry. I could go on and on but I strongly incourage all of you to start doing this, it's so much fun to save lots of money...
Yesterday, May 13th, marked the 14 year mark of our marrige. We had a wonderful day. Brad took me out to a wonderful dinner at The Chef's table, which is a very elegant resturant. When we got there Brad had a dozen long stemmed roses waiting at our table for me, then he gave me my gift which was this beautiful dimond heart tennis braclet, I LOVE IT. Afterward we went out for icecream and then headed home. It was a wonderful night! Oh and by the way, I got Brad a Dallas Cowboys watch, (It's his favorite team). Love you baby...
