Wow, you did great! I didn’t know you could use several differennt coupons on the same items (your oreo deal).
For this doubler week, I’d focused on doing money-maker and free transactions, and it was hard for me to keep to keep my various transactions straight so that they always worked out not being under, but just a few cents over. After having mommy brain & not “working” the past few years, couponing has definitely kept my brain challenged!
Kathryn says
WOW!! I agree, you should hold an “advanced” class too! I have the basics down and think I’m doing pretty well until I see pictures like this! I obviously have a ways to go! Great job!

I didnt add in the cost of the newspapers on that trip because I buy the newspapers for the coupons inside {Smartsource + Red plum}..not for the doublers necessarily. So while I am spending $4 on my papers, I am actually saving a lot more than I spend on them when you consider the coupons I will be using from that one sundays newspaper.
I did go to two different Albertsons, but only because I had an hour to kill while my daughter was at dance in Richland, so I had already used the gas for dance class. Then later that night I was able to really do my shopping. Typically I will just go to one store and do all my shopping once per week.
