Extreme Couponing....


So as many of you know I have been a big fan of the coupon game for the last 4 years.....
I love trying to beat the system and it's so easy lately due to the many blogs dedicated to my HOBBY. So I decided to try what the big wigs do and had Shaun take a picture this morning when I got home from shopping. Anyway......this is everything I bought this morning for LESS THAN $50......




I hit Target and spent $36.21 out of pocket (+ got $10 back in gift cards), total saved was $53.92
K-Mart spent $2.19 for 4 Infusium products, saved $24.37
Smiths spent $10.84 for groceries (+$3 back on my next order), saved $44.76 (the 38.11 that the receipt says is just store savings, not including coupons)

So I would have spent $172.29 if I paid full price, but spent only $49.24 instead for all of it. It is do-able and not hard. Just takes a little planning.
