Back from Vacation... But First...

We quit smoking!! Saturday marked the start of our 6th week of being smoke free and we're loving it! I have a new obsession/hobby though... couponing!! That's right! For month's now I've been collecting the coupon booklet's that come with every Sunday paper. I've carefully catalogued them in an Excel spreadsheet. Each week I scour the sales flyers from my local stores checking for sales and finaly over the last couple of weeks I finally reached the point in the sales cycle where I can start applying coupons to sales prices and coming out with bargains!

Here are two of my recent expeditions:


Total Spent???
$32!!

- 2 boxes Lipton tea bags 100s
- 2 rolls Owens breakfast sausage
- 2 bags Tyson Grilled Chicken breast strips
- 2 Kraft Salad dressings
- 1 Kraft BBQ sauce
- 3 Ragu pasta sauce jars
- 2 Betty Crocker Brownie mixes
- 2 boxes Quaker chewy granola bars
- 1box Tampax
- 1 box Hefty One Zip bags

Total Spent???
$28!!

- 2 boxes Eskimo Pie
- 2 boxes Drumstick
- 2 boxes Band Aid
- 2 boxes Excedrin
- 1 box Motrin
- 2 boxes Tampax
- 1 Dawn dish liquid
- 3 boxes Kleenex tissues
- 2 bags Goldfsh flavor blasted
- 1 bag Combos

Doesn't seem like a whole lot in this second one... but with the "health" supplies the price usually flies up there... not any more though!!
