$$COUPONS!!$$$
So I have recently acquired a new addiction to saving money. Yup, I am a coupon addict. I have spent multiple hours online in the last few days reading blogs dedicated to couponing and thought I would share some of my awesome deals with you, along with the blogs I got the info from.
Here is my awesome shopping trip from today at Walmart. Matt and I have for the most part stopped shopping at Walmart due to problems we have with their labor practices etc. (see the documentary "Walmart: The High Cost of Low Prices" for more info). However, I figure if I can get most of the things on my list for free from my coupons, then I'm not really supporting Walmart. What do you think?
Anyway, here are the great deals I got
(1)Lysol wipes $2.62-$1/1 coupon = $1.62
(4)Knox gelatin $1.32-$4/1 coupon = $2.68 overage (x4)
(4)Johnson's buddies soap $.97-$2/2 and $3/3 coupons on Johnson's product = $.12 overage
(1)Desitin $3.26-above Johnson's coupon = $1.62
(1)Glucerna cereal $3.94-$5 Coupon = $1.06 overage
(1)4pk Gillette razors $5.97-$2.00 coupon = $3.97 or $1.00 apiece
(1)Freschetta pizza $5.00-.75 coupon = $4.25
(1)Lysol kitchen cleaner $2.14 - $.75 = $1.39
(1) Lysol toilet cleaner $2.18 - .50 = $1.68
Plus, I have a $3/3 Lysol mail-in coupon.
So my total at Walmart before coupons was $36.40. After coupons, my total was 8.65, and that includes $1.26 in tax! So this is almost a 75% savings!
Here's a picture of my great haul:
I have to say I was pretty proud of myself, although I cannot take any of the credit. I found all of these incredible deals from some of the blogs I follow. Here are the links to those blogs if you would like to check them out:

Check out these blogs for some really great inspirations and deals! And a million thanks to Amber and these other great women for your tips. I hope this is just the start of my couponing adventures.
And just for fun, here are some new pictures of Caitlyn from today. She has all of a sudden developed great head control, and is starting to tolerate belly time. Have a great weekend everyone!

You go girl~! ITA about Walmart... I am NOT a fan of them but if it means I get to TAKE more money from them than I spend... then I am okay... my very favorite couponing spot though... is Meijer! You will learn to love them too because anytime after 10 pm self check out is the only thing left and you do your OWN coupon scanning without anyone looking at you weird!
