And the adventure begins!

A few months ago, i discovered couponing and was totally amazed by it!! Who know you could load up a cart at the store and possibly walk out with MORE money than you walked in with! As a full time college student, i am all about saving money when i can and already had a few coupons with me when i got them. As of August 1, 2010 (last weekend) i went with my best friend, who had already started her couponing experience, and we bought the Sunday paper to start clipping.

Now my coupons are organized in a plastic accordion-style binder that fits in my purse and ready to go!
I've already experienced the couponing power twice since i really started and its great! Here is a break down of my last two purchases (both at CVS):

The First Time (8/4/10)
I bought:
1 Excedrin 20 CT @1.99
1 Crest Pro Health 1 LTR (with mini attached) @ 3.99
1 Glide Floss @ 3.99
1 Gillette Fusion razor @ 9.79
1 Oral B Adv toothbrush @ 2.99
and one GUM go betweens @ 2.99
total = $25. 74 before tax
used coupons:
$2/1 crest mouthwash
$4/1 Gillette Razor
$0.75/1 oral b toothbrush
$0.75/1 glide floss
one ecb
paid: $19.75 after tax
