Not as interesting, but I thought I would tell you...

I went and did my first "couponing" trip. So it really ended up that I didn't need many coupons which probably means I failed. I think you are supposed to make sure you use a coupon for everything, but I still feel good about what I bought and how much I spent. Everything I bought we will use. So right there I am tickled.:)

So here is the stats.....

I spent $92.15 and saved $74.36.

I bought a total of 87 items.

I did buy my BBQ sauce. I got 10 of them for $5.90 and they are regularly a total of $12.90! I think that I did pretty darn well. They should last us a year at least.

I also got a bunch of Gatorade for Rick. 40- 32 ounce size for $18. I am proud of that. I know that some people get all this stuff and more for free, but for my first week I am pleased with my accomplishment.

Afterall for someone who doesn't like to go to many stores I went to 3 to get all of the stuff I bought with 3 children and it took about 2 hours. More if you count the time I had to stop to get some lunch and drop off some cold groceries to the house. Luckily the stores are all pretty close to home. If they weren't I probably wouldn't go to them. If you were wondering why Loni was with us on a Wednesday, due to power outages from THE STORM (still mad about my veggies) school for her was cancelled. SOL testing is going on so who knows how they make up that stuff. I am sure we will find out.
