My First Time

Last night was my very first time couponing, and I am already addicted. I really love to save money, and try not to pay full price for anything (red stickers at Target are my obsession), so couponing is perfect for me.

Here is my breakdown. I spent a total of $23.45 on these items. Before coupons, buy one get one free store specials and bucks backs, I would have spent a total of $65.98. That is a total savings of (get ready for it):

64%

Not bad for my first time. Now it may not look like a lot of stuff, but you must examine exactly what I bought. The makeup alone would have been $30!

So what does couponing mean? Do you sign up for it or just look for coupons. I am all about a good deal.

I was wondering today if you were going to do a post about what you got...I am proud of you. My binder is nice and organized!
Good for you!
