More couponing
I was lucky enough to hit a couple of deals at the grocery store yesterday. They have a coupon section just inside the door and also a clearance section. They had Stride gum multi packs on 50% off and a 'buy2 save $1.00' coupon. The gum rang up at sale price for $1.67 each and the dollar off coupon brought it to $2.34...so each individual pack turned out to be only .39 cents!
The other deal I hit was salad dressing 50% off and I had a $1.00 off coupon. It was Newman's Own Organic dressing. It rang up at $1.27 and with the coupon I only paid .27 cents!! I checked the expiry date and it's good til March 2012. Of course, once I got to the car I realized I had another coupon but I didn't have time to go back in.

Coupons!!
Finding coupons! Using coupons! I love coupons!
I had asked my mom to ask her friends to save me their coupon flyers if they weren't using them. One of here friends gave me 2 flyers. Lots of great coupons in them. I've already clipped them and have started to sort them and file them in my binder.
When we got groceries tonight we found a coupon for gum. Save $1.00 when you buy 2 multi-packs of gum. A single package of gum is a ridiculous $1.29!! The multi-packs (4) were already on sale 2/$5.00 and with the coupon we only paid $4.00 or .50 cents a pack (1). Much cheaper and it is something that we usually buy as a last minute purchase while waiting in line. I think I'll pick up some more before the sale ends and use some for my son's birthday party treat bags.
