i LOVE coupons

For the past couple of years I have been shopping with coupons. And if it weren't for my coupons I don't know that I would have the food storage that I have today. It has really helped me be able to keep a good "stock" on hand. And usually you can find some smokin' deals out there. The number one thing I have learned is NEVER pay full price for anything unless you absolutely have to.

On Tuesday I went to Albertsons (they typically have the best sales) and purchased four boxes of cereal, 8 boxes of gushers, four boxes of muffin mixes, a gallon of chocolate milk, three packages of lunch meat, and a bottle of propel water. My total after coupons came to $11.75. Now that's a deal. My only regret? . . . . I wished I would have started using coupons over 10 years ago.

Does Albertsons double coupons?
I've been wondering if any grocery store in St. George does.

Awesome shopping trip. I love it when you can leave the store paying hardly anything. I am like you, I wish I would have started years ago as well, We spent way more money when it was just Dusty and I because I didn't know how to shop. Who knew I could spend less with my neice, 3 boys & lots of coupons. I hope you are getting some good diaper deals.
