Pinching My Pennies (& Loving Every Minute of it!)

Those of you who are also friends with my good friend Audrey are probably thinking this post is a bit of a repeat. It's true. I'm a total copy-cat. But who can blame me? This are some seriously sweet deals! Plus I want all my family & frineds to be welcomed into the world of Pinching Pennies. I may not have done quite as well as Audrey did, but for venturing out all on my own, I'm pretty darn proud.

Here's what today's shopping trip consisted of:



8 Rolls of Bounty Paper Towels
1 Case of Charmin Ultra Toilet Paper
8 Boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios
4 Boxes of Cocoa Puffs
4 Boxes of Fiber One Cereal
8 Boxes of Gushers Fruit Snacks
2 Boxes of Fiber One Chocolate & Oats Granola Bars
2 Packages of Pampers Baby Wipes
2 Yoplait Kids' Yogurt 6-Packs
2 Yopliat Yo+ Yogurt 4-Packs
20 Yoplait Yogurts
2 Boxes of My Little Pony Fruit Snacks
4 Boxes of Toaster Struedel
6 Boxes of Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffin Mix
3 Betty Crocker Brownie Mixes
3 Bottles of Pantene Shampoo / Conditioner
12 Cans of Progresso Soup
1 Bottle of Cheer Laundry Detergent

Do you have any idea how much all of this cost me???? Take a guess.. I'll give you a hint...
Before all the sales & coupons the total cost would have been $382.16
But for me... 43 coupons and 2 transactions later my grand total was...
Drum roll please...




$110.66
For a total savinsg of $171.50

Hooray for me being that lady at the grocery store. You know the type... they carry a stack of coupons and always double-check the prices as they ring up. They're the ones you never want to get in line behind. But who knew such savings could exist?
