It all adds up so fast. Ok, I did get a lot for my buck but I am cheap. I was hoping for less. I didn’t take time to do all the math. I just did the math as in “this item costs X, use a coupon, brings it down to X and I am willing to pay X.” K, got that? Great!!
I have to preface this by saying that these are not items I get every day. I buy and stock up for quick meals, donating, and special treats. So now that that is out of the way, feel free to judge my food choices if you wish but be open to getting it right back. I do read labels and I know what is in the food I bought.

Today I used 24 coupons from the newspaper, 2 printables, 1 store booklet coupon, and 3 that printed off at that register. My newspaper cost if purchased at the store for 1.75 each would have been $7. My total newspaper coupon savings was $28.70. My total newspaper profit for today was $21.70 plus I used a lot of those coupons last week and have many more to use in coming weeks.
