FREE @ Albertsons .. man I'm good.(and some apple crisp in the background, and oh look, a dirty pair of work gloves. I really should clean my counter off)
Just under $18 for all this. CJ would have scored it all for free
$73 value though .... I'm getting better.

My friend from highschool ... I wish we were better friends, it was so great to talk to her! Oh, I remember why I don't have too many friends left from highschool, I think it involves a controlling ex-boyfriend .. but I can't be sure. Anyway ... this friend of mine CJ has been teaching me how to use coupons and get super deals. And I mean super. I am in now way as awesome as she is, but I aspire to be just like her and her coupon awesomeness.
I've been going to Walgreens and Target weekly, and have been getting stuff for SO cheap if not free. I can't even tell you the excitment involoved here. I feel like a kid on Christmas! Even the cashiers praise my name. If you would like to feel this same rush, let me know and I'll teach you what I've learned and direct you to some really good websites that have taught me how to only spend $40 a week on groceries for my family of 5. And no we don't eat ramen for every meal ;)
Thanks to Crystal and Sally for reminding me about Grocery Smarts too. There are such great tools online to help us save money and make meals plans based on the weekly sales etc. Can you tell I get excited?!

So there are even more tricks I don't know about?? Do share girl!
I like the new blog look!
I probably wouldn't have gotten it for free. We always have to pay tax. hee heee heee
But seriously considering you are a novice that is a GREAT and FANTASTIC deal. Especially because you got groceries too. Food doesn't come cheap these days. I am impressed and I am happy you had good checkers.
It looks like your walgreens trip went well. Did the mascara coupons go through? I had persuade to use mine.
Um, YES! Pass it on! You should do a blog post about your secrets! Or just email me... I can't wait!!! :)
Can't wait to have you teach me!!! OH and just to see you and the kids!! Love you!!
I Love to do the coupon thing too!

I am addicted to coupons as well lol. Isn't it fun to save so much?! I have been putting it on hold for now with Landon so young it is hard to go on a million trips to the store, but we will resume in the spring! What websites do you use?
Sweet! You go Girl! I try to do a little bit with coupons but most of the time I forget to even take them to the store with me. It is all I can do to remmeber to get my "Green Bags" out of the trunk of the car once I do get to the store! Ha ha
