Cutting Coupons

I've always heard of people going to the store and buying truck loads of stuff for a penny. I never really understood how, and I almost didn't believe them. However, I have recently learned how to use coupons in an effective way, thanks to a Relief Society activity and my friend Staci. I have to admit I was totally confused when I attended the coupon class, but after I got home and looked at everything they were talking about, I totally got it! Last week, I went to the store with my coupons in hand and bought the following:
10 boxes of Fruit Roll ups
4 cans of Progresso soup
2 bags of Chex mix
4 boxes of Chex cereal bars
2 bags of Albertson's potato chips
4 cans of Pillsbury refrigerator rolls
2 boxes of Toaster Strudels
4 Warm Delight microwave cakes
5 Pillsbury cake mixes and,
5 cans of Pillsbury frosting
Guess how much it all cost...$14! (and change) That equals out to be about $0.33 per item!
I planned it all out the night before I went, but I was so excited to go buy it all, that I couldn't sleep! I was up until 3:00 in the morning! It's really quite fun to get so much stuff for such a little price! I'm sure that wasn't the best that anyone has ever done with coupons, but I think it's great for a first timer! Coupons are definitely the way to go! Especially if you are trying to save money and cut back on the grocery bill!

The Price

In her short 18 months of life, Bella has learned the price you pay for playing with two rowdy boys, here is her most recent...

She wasn't bothered by it for more than 30 seconds. She just went right back to playing!! It makes me wonder what I looked like, growing up with six of them...
