I had the pleasure of taking a Free Couponing Class from a fellow Cub Scout Mom in January. I've bought the 4 Sunday Papers - Clipped, Printed and organized to the best of my ability. My first coupon buys were at Albertson's during a week long coupon doublers. It will definately get you excited to try for more deals. I've also purchased some items at Target and Smith's.
This was my first Albertson's Couponing Shopping Trip:
Retail Cost - $80.21
I Piad - $22.94
My Total For the 2 Trips That week
Retail: $155.25
I paid: $44.05
I tried Couponing at Smith's Last week and although I saved about 45% I could have saved more, I made several newbie mistakes from which I learned from and this is result this week.
7 Boxes of Cereal, 29 Packages Banquet Sausage Links,
24 Boxes of Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks and 10 Totino's Party Pizza's
Total Retail - $190.35 - I paid $31.46 for 70 items
