I'm sharing my last 5 shopping trips July 27-31. I'm not going to list what each and every item cost, but if you have any questions, just ask.

Spent $21.87. Saved $9 with coupons. 54% savings with sales and coupons.

Spent $3.86. Saved $17 with coupons. Total savings of 94% with sales and coupons! Oh yeah, my almost empty smoothie from McDonalds was also free.

Spent $16.65. Saved $8.99 with coupons. 58% savings with sales and coupons.

This is Walmart shopping. Total was $48.05 before coupons and $21.51 after coupons. Savings of over 50% makes me quite happy!

Spent $8.06. Used $16 in coupons. Total savings of 82% after sales and coupons. I also rec'd 2 Catalinas. One for $2 off future purchase of ground beef, chicken, or tuna and one for .50 off my next shopping trip.
As you can see from the photos, we are getting a little better variety in our stock. Lots of soap----I've started crocheting cotton soap savers and each one comes with a free bar of soap.
Lots of salsa--all free after coupons. Does anyone know if this will freeze well? Jasmine has eaten 2 of them and I used one in our meal of soft tacos tonight.
My next shopping trip is tomorrow. I will go to Aldi and pick up a pound of ground turkey, pound of ground beef, bag of boneless chicken breasts, bag of salad, bag of shredded cheese, and a jar of applesauce.
Now for the total I saved with coupons this month---$416.92! That is by far the best I have done in a very long time, maybe even ever. Can I top it in August?

When I look at a blog post or something with the printable coupons. If they are coupons.com or smartsource.com, I head first to inboxdollars to print. They pay you .10 for each you print and redeem. I then switch back and forth between printing my second of each coupon with mypoints and swagbucks as each gives you 10 points for the ones you prints and redeem.
couponsnetwork.com is a good site for coupons. commongoodness is another.
I do print a lot of the coupons I use. We can go to our newspaper office during the week and buy 5 Sunday papers for $6, so I've started doing that when there are several I know I want more of.
Twice I've ordered coupons online $4 each time with shipping. I was able to get coupons that way that were regional and not in our newspaper like the Del Monte coupons and Heinz vinegar and the Barilla pasta.
I don't really like the idea of buying coupons though. However, on my last $4 order I saved over $15 with that order. I didn't keep track on the first order, but I used all that I ordered, so probably about the same.
Wow!
Have you found any recent deals latley ?
I have smart source and red plumb are there any other places to get coupons in the mail? I can't print many coupons the price of ink adds up.
