Getting the hang of it

I know that I have been couponing for about a year or more now, but I think I have finally caught on.  Watch out when I really do catch on to something.  I grab hold and normally don't let go. 

Lately, I have not been taking my binder with me everywhere I go.  Sometimes that leads me to say, "If I only had my binder with me I could have saved on this, or that, or could have bought xyz today instead of coming back."  I went to Shop Rite to use one of the coupons I worked so hard to track down last week.  This past week Shop Rite had Stay Free on sale for 1.99 a package.  The New Haven Register's coupon insert had a $2.00 off 1 package coupon in it.  I bought two papers last week so I had two of these coupons.  

I took today to organize and catch up with my couponing which helped on my Shop Rite trip.  While in the feminine care aisle, I also picked up two packs of Carefree liners.  Speaking of liners if any of my female readers use them and need them speak up, that is something I get for free quite often. 

So, lets freeze for a moment in my shopping and highlight some of the awesome deals.  So far I managed to get 4 packages of feminine care products for free.   2 bottle of ketchup for only $1.00.  Klondike Ice Cream pack for only .99.

Overall on this shopping trip for the 28 items I purchased before coupons and savings I would have spent, $55.79.  After coupons and savings I only spent $26.77.  I saved $29.02 for an overall savings of 52%.  Gotta like it!!!
