So anyone who knows me, or has even skimmed this blog recently, knows that I have jumped on the coupon bandwagon. Now, to take this one step further I decided my time in the store searching for coupons was not the most efficient, so I took a cue from other coupon gurus and put together a coupon binder. Hopefully this new organization system will save me time… though the project itself took up several of my evenings this past week. I also recruited Mr. Dave and my mom to assist with the project. As an aside, it’s not the saving money part that has me hooked on coupons (though who doesn’t like saving money?), I find it appeals to my competitive side!

Target
Ok, I know this is a blog about our family, but I can’t help share my recent couponing (is that a verb?) experiences! Today Ajax and I ran to Target and I picked up the following items. I paid a total of $14.41 and got a $5.00 Target gift card, so in total- $9.41. I saved over $20!
Amended Bragging Rights
Ok, so anyone who knows me understands that math is not and never has been my strong suit. After writing my bragging post my friend Heather called and reminded me of a few things (she’s a teacher so she is used to explaining difficult math problems to people). I didn’t pay $3.11 for all those items. I actually got everything FREE! As a matter of fact I’ll make a profit of $1.89 for taking all that stuff off of Rite Aide’s hands! Ha ha ha! (insert evil laugh here).
Bragging
I am no coupon/savings guru by any stretch of the imagination, but after taking a few tips from my friend Heather, here was my Rite Aid trip today, by far my best.
How much did I spend you ask? I spent $8.10 and saved $17.99! Rite Aid will also be sending me a check for $4.99. So total = $3.11. And all on things we need and use everyday! TA DAA!
