The World of Couponing

My fabulous sister Bridgette has introduced me to the crazy world of couponing. Today was my first day at it and I have to say I am pretty pleased with myself.

First stop, Victoria’s Secret.  After all was said and done, I received 4 pairs of undies, 1 oz. lotion and a gift set.  The total value of these items is $60.42….I got them all for $7.95!  That is a savings of $52.47.  Wowza.

Next stop, Albertsons.  Now my savings here won’t seem that great compared to the killer deal I got at VS, but humor me.

All items I purchased were either on sale or I had a coupon for them.  Bridgette has told me the secret to couponing is to stock pile items while they are at their lowest price.  I will need some adjusting to get use to this…but I am going to give it my best shot.

I bought all of the items below for a total of $85.35.  Originally the cost would have been $145.45.  So, all in all, I walked out of Alby’s with a savings of $60.10

I won’t list out all of the items, but it included 12 pork loins, detergent and a few cleaners, all which add up pretty quick.  I am hoping I only get better at my coupon skills and if starting off saving $60 is the beginning then I am super happy.

I’ll keep you posted on my progress.  And HUGE thanks to Bridge for helping me get started.  xoxo
