I was super excited when I totaled out my complete days saving from 6 different stores! I went to Walmart (rare occasion for coupon shopping), Food Lion, Kroger, Publix, Rite Aid and CVS. The best deals of the day were...

• 8 Oral B Advantage Deep Clean Toothbrushes - FREE (only paid tax of $0.89)
• 5 Old Spice Odor Blocking Body Wash - FREE (Buy One Get One sale)

As I said, I was super excited when I saw my total savings. To know that I got $150.00 worth of stuff and only paid $43.88 for it is sooooo amazing to me! I am completely hooked on coupon shopping!!!

My First Coupon Deals

I decided to start collecting coupons a few weeks ago when my sister-in-law Jessica showed me how to get the best deals using them. After a week of collecting coupons from 5 newspapers and the SmartShopper paper that comes in the mail, I was able to take my first shopping trip. I was both excited and nervous about it. I was so scared that I was going to do something wrong and not get the deal that I was hoping to get. Now, granted I did not get the kind of deals that most people get due to the fact that this was my very first trip and I don't have the supply of coupons that the others have. After talking with Jessica I feel pretty good about my first ever coupon shopping experience. Here are the deals I got...

I went to both Publix and CVS to do my shopping. I am going to give you a combined total of spendings and savings.

Before Coupons - $85.83
