Okay... some of you may know by reading my daughter's blog, that we went to a coupon class about a month ago. Since then, we have been diligently surfing the web, clipping and sorting coupons galore. This was my first real trip to see how much an average shopper could really save.
All the items on my table, at regular price, would have cost me $ 64.33
I paid $16.99
That's a savings of 75%
Lets look at it from this perspective: 48 items for 35 cents each!!!
2 - bags of frozen vegetables
2- dish-washing liquids
9- bars of soap
10- rolls of paper towels
12- double (24) rolls of toilet paper
2- 2 liter drinks
5- deodorants
3- body washes
2- toothpastes
1- baby shampoo
I don't want to mislead anyone though. I got a lot more than this at the store that day. My total out of pocket bill was around $200.00 and I had $50 in coupons alone. The picture above only includes the big sale or free items that I purchased from CVS and Walmart. Im pleased, 50 bucks is 50 bucks.
Happy Shopping. It really is a lot more fun when your saving money.
Blessing,
Stephanie
