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):
