This was all purchased with coupons that either gave me a free item, doubled to make the item free, or brought the item down to near free.  I did not use any catalinas, extra care bucks, referral coupons or gift cards. This was all done with just plain old coupons!

You know, taking a minute or two to fill out a simple form on a website to get coupons is starting to pay off. I get coupons in the mail just about every week now!  Today I got 2 coupons for 1 FREE Hood cottage cheese, 2 coupons for $1/1 Crab Classics, and 2 coupons for $.55/1 Crab Classics.  Now I can't wait for Crab Classic to go on sale!

Oh... I almost forgot!!!  That little pile of money in the back corner... you can't tell, but there are some fives, tens, and even twenties in that pile!  I let a few people know via craigslist that I had some goodies to sell.  I got three shoppers and sold nearly $100 worth of stuff from my Stockpile Store! Now I have an excuse to buy things (I mean get free things) I don't even need, like Cascade (I don't use a dishwasher).  The doors are open people! Come on in!

I do shopping trips like this 3 or 4 (okay, sometimes 5 or 6) times a week!  It can be done on a regular basis. Couponing does not have to be just a once-in-a-blue-moon savings!  I also do one BIG shopping trip every other week for all the stuff we must have. For that trip, I have a $20 budget... and we feed two dogs too!
