Its awesome to save money

Like many others I became inspired after watching the first episode of extreme couponing last month.  I had randomly used coupons before but never realized how the "game" really worked.  I was amazed at the number of websites and blogs devoted to couponing.  It took a little bit of time to learn the coupon lingo and accumulating coupons, but the last few weeks I have been going full force on trying to get the items my family uses for next to nothing or free.  Last weekend I got my first free item, a tube of aquafresh toothpaste.  Also got two full size bottles of body wash for $0.04 each. Felt really good!! 
But tonight was the best yet.  On my trip to our brand new Super Walmart, which is now my favorite store, I was paid to buy an item!!  It wasn't much, $0.24, but its a start.  Below are a few of the highlights from this trip:

Reach Floss - $0.88 bought two.  Used 2 $1.00 coupons.  Was credited $0.24

Snuggle Fabric Sheets - $1.87 bought two.  Used 2 $1.00 coupons.  Paid $0.87each

Finish Quantum Dishwasher Tabs (this is the only brand of dishwasher soap I will ever use) - $2.77 bought two.  Used 2 $1.75 coupons.  Paid $1.02 each

Beechnut baby food - $.63 bought 6.  Used 2 $1.00 off 3 coupons.  Paid $1.78 for 6 jars.

Dannon Yogurt - $2.00/4 pack bought 2.  Used $1.00 off 2 pks coupon.  Paid $3.00 for 8 yogurts ($0.37each)

Crest Mouthwash (1 liter) $5.00 on sale for $4.  Used $2.00 coupon.  Paid $2.00

Retail Value of these items is $23.82 at the SuperWalmart (I know at other stores this would have been even more).  I actually paid $10.32, a savings of 57%.
