So, Eric and I decided to try this coupon clipping thing. I have to admit that it takes A LOT of time, but on our first excursion today we saved a TON. We decided not to horde and also not to buy things we don't need just because it is on sale.
Here a picture of only SOME of our booty:
It is only some of it because I didn't think to take a picture until most of it was put away, so I only got the easy stuff to grab back out.
We saved: $154.62!!!
We spent: $132.66!!!
Here is the breakdown:
**2 John Freida Haircolor (Target). $11.99 each, (2) -$5 Store Coupon, (2) -$5 MFR Coupon. $1.99 a box!! Then, for buying 2 I got a $5 Target gift card! So essentially Target PAID ME $1.02 to walk out with them!
**3 Nivea Body Wash (Target). $3.04 each. (3) -$3.00 MFR Coupon. $.04 Each!
**3 Temptations Cat Treats (Wegmans). $1.79 each, on sale for $1.50. (3) -$1.00 MFR Coupon! $.50 each!

**2 4-Pack Starbucks Iced Frappucino (Tops). $7.59 each, on sale for 2/$10. -$2.00 for 2 MFR Coupon. $4.00 each or $1.00 a drink!
**6 Pantene Pro-V (3) Shampoo, (3) Conditioner (Wegmans). $3.85 each, on sale for 2.99 each. -$3.00 off of 2 MFR Coupon. $1.49 each!
**9 Furmanos Crushed Tomatoes (only 2 pictured cause I didn't want to drag out all 9! From Tops). $2.09 each, on sale for $1 each. $1.00 off of 3 cans. $.67 each!
There were other great deals too, not pictured. Like 150 Fl Oz Purex from Tops originally 12.99, on sale for 9.99, and then add a $3 off MFR coupon. This was a whole day event and lots of planning went in. I think we will get better as we go, but I felt very accomplished. I also hit up Rite Aid earlier in the week for %40 off of Covergirl Cosmetics, and MFR coupons for $2.50 off of 2 and such. Another steal overall. We will still probably have to go to Aldi's for some things, but we feel accomplished. And I won't have to buy shampoo for awhile, ha ha ha!
