My new addiction

I used to hate, i mean hate grocery shopping. I would go every other week and buy like extra milk and stuff so I wouldn't have to go back. But now this is where I spend lots of my time. What is the change you ask? Couponing!!!

So I am now head over heals into couponing. I love to save money and it is just gives me such a rush when I save a lot of money. I know I'm weird, but hey, I need another hobby right?

So here is one shopping trip. How much do you think I spent at Albertson's?

Drum roll please.............................................$31.25
Um yeah let's see..8 cereals, 3 boxed broths, 4 chex mixes, 4 frostings, 4 cookie mixes, yogurt, 2 steam fresh vegies, flour and 8 frozen dinners. (I figured out at home that she missed 3 coupons so I could have saved about $1.50 more)
I saved $72.21 plus on top of that I got $15 off my next purchase.

Next pruchase....

In case you can't see that, it says I paid $5.75 and saved $56.41, plus another $15 off my next trip. So basically it was like I made money. I love it!!!
I told my friend that if something were to happen that we would be eating a lot of cereal! Good thing I have some powdered milk in my food storage!

I am seriously impressed. I am excited for my newspaper to come so I can start saving.
