A Coupon Post

I realize that it's been awhile since I did a coupon post but I got some pretty good deals yesterday at Target, Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS that I thought I'd share. I know that some of you might think that I'm crazy for going grocery shopping at 4 different stores in one day, but because I have Friday afternoons off from work and would probably spend that time shopping for other things (like clothes or house stuff) if I weren't grocery shopping, it works for me. Plus, because I am able to get all of the good deals at each of the different stores, I am able to save a lot more money. Between all 4 stores, I saved a total of $65.61 and only spent a total of $62.74 (including tax and stuff not bought with coupons). Pretty good if you ask me. For those of you who are curious as to what I bought, here's the breakdown.

Here's a picture of what I bought at Target.
My total without coupons would have been $38.24, but using coupons, I got everything shown above for only $11.40. I saved $26.84 or 70% off of the original total.

I was wondering if you were still "couponing"...if only I was that motivated!
