Call Me The Quopon Queen!

I DID IT!!! I sat down late last night and printed out my very first set of coupons! I decided to give this thing a try and really try to do it RIGHT! I'd heard Albertsons was doing another big sale and for every $30 spent on select items, they'd print you $15 credit at the check out. Another blog told me to go to pinchingyourpennies.com and after an easy & free registry I found an Idaho forum and printed spreadsheets that other women in Idaho had prepared to go shopping with. They did their work! It was so easy! They had links to all the coupons and had broken it down to how many items of what you had to buy to get better deals.... Anyway, I spent 2 hours on the computer last night & 2 hours in the store today.....AND.....
I bought....
21 packs of diapers (not my brand, but at this price... why not?)
15 boxes of cereal
6 lbs of butter
4 lbs of cheese
2 dozen eggs
6 grapefruits
10 lbs of potatoes
6 packs of 6pck kids yoplait
2 packs of gogurts
4 boxes of blueberry muffin mix
1 pack of wipes
2 pints ben & jerry's
&
1 9lb spiral cut ham

For a total of $472.12 (before my preferred savings, manufacturers coupons, & store coupons)....
I paid only $130.15. ($341.97 worth of savings;))

Oh, and they were soooooo nice to me. I was way nervous! I almost felt like I was stealing.... but everyone was so helpful and patient.... totally worth it.
The pampers aren't pictured because they were all out. I prepaid for them today though to get all my savings, and they're going to call me when they get in.




P.S. That pampers aren't labeled as a real good deal. You have to buy the ones marked 2/20. Buy 3 at a time..... and at check out they will print you $20 ($15 on any grocery, $5 on baby products) in store credit.
