I also got 5 boxes of cereal (and good size boxes at that) for $9 :) that is $1.80 a box!!

I got some more stuff but i'm tired of writing.
I feel really HAPPY! I feel like I am doing something great for our family.
My patriarichal blessing tells me specifically that I need to be "FRUGAL" and I feel like this is one great way to do that.
A few of the cashiers were a little less than excited when they saw me pull out my coupons but I was VERY polite and made sure that I said thank you more than once before I was done:):)

Yay for good deals! I'm going today to Albertsons to get 409 for FREE and some other stuff for pocket change :)
You will notice as you coupon more, you can get cereal for less than $1/box regularly. Keep all of your coupons and watch the sales. That will make you even more excited. For example, last week I got 3 boxes of Special K for $1 (.33/ea!!).
Good job being frugal!!

Nicole, you need to check out www.krazycouponlady.com.
She tells you where to go and what coupons to use and what your final price will be. I love that site!
thats awesome Nicole, I love couponing too, except Ive gotten to a point now where I wont, just CANT buy any food item that is not on sale now!
I guess thats a good thing!
I'm totally loving couponing too, thanks to Alyssa! But unfortunately a lot of the food we eat I haven't been able to find coupons for, but for the foods they do have coupons for and for non food stuff I refuse to buy them without coupons! It's fun seeing how much you can save. And I know there is still a ton more for me to learn.
I have been doing Coupon Sense for a couple months and have saved at least half of my grocery bill every time! It is so fun! If I am in a bad mood I know I just need to go grocery shopping and then I will immediately get happy! Welcome to the coupon world!
I always want to coupon and I really should. I think I'm just lazy. Maybe if someone else did it for me.
Fun and way to go.. I should with twins!
Check out my blog for a giveaway I know you would love!!!
I've just gotten into it myself....I LOVE it - and who knew you could do it in canada too!!! I was always jealous of you guys in the states with all the fab coupon deals.
anyways....it's seriously addicting and suddenly paying full price just doesn't seem reasonable. LOL
