Well girls, wish me luck! I've got my coupons organized, my spreadsheets and shopping lists ready and I'm going to hit the groceries HARD this weekend. I counted it up and I have - no joke - 200 (yes, that's right) valid coupons to use this weekend at Hardings, Walmart, Walgreens and Meijer. I'm taking pictures and tallies of everything and I'll let you know how it goes!
Last night was my first trip of the weekend - small one to Hardings - had 5 coupons for Betty Crocker potatoes - normally priced 1.97, marked down to 1.00 save $1/2 boxes - that's .50 a box and 5.00 for 10. That's 75% savings am I right? And those are nice to have in the pantry for when you're in a bind for supper.
And today during my lunch hour I began the rolling at Walgreens - bought 3 boxes of Robitussin cold medicine - on sale from 5.79 to 3.99. Had 3/$3 coupons and paid 2.97 for all three boxes. Register Rewards this week awards you a 10.00 in store coupon for your next trip when you buy three, so basically I just MADE 7.03 - in a way of looking at it :) HA!
Oh, and last night it was DEAD at work so I went to Freeflys and signed up for about 30 free samples! (That's for you Elisabeth! :) But watch out you have to be careful of the ones that say participation required - I don't do those they are a pain in the butt. I just do the ones that ask for your address.
The only bad thing is that I'm already worn out from planning and I have a long way to go this weekend!
Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I love reading your blogs with all the helpful hints still in time for me to use them!!
Very cool...the idea of having a hobby where you are saving money instead of spending it?? Sweet. :)
Amos, you're hysterical. I thought I was Dutch... :)
In 20 years, you and Clint will be sitting on a million due to coupon shopping! Or even if you aren't, at least you know there was no superfluous spending along the way. Right on.
