I love coupons...

I have been doing coupons now for almost 4 years. It's amazing how much money I save by using coupons. Almost every week you can get something for FREE. This morning I went grocery shopping. Everything I bought I had a coupon for. I bought 14 boxes of cereal. Do we need this much cereal? NO So why did I buy it? Because I was able to get it for $.77 a box! I purchased 4 boxes of granola bars for the same $.77 a box. My 2 bags of chips were $.88 a bag. The dawn dish soap was the most $.99. The 2 bags of vegetables (my favorite) was ..... FREE!!! I spent $15.07 and saved $42.88. I was suppose to get 2 tubs of Promise Spreadable Butter for FREE but they were out of stock. I've got my self a rain check and will go back next week to get those.

Every weeks different. A couple of weeks ago I picked up 4 Snicker bars for FREE and 4 tubes of Crest toothpaste for FREE. They go hand in hand don't they.

Yesterday I think I found my favorite deal of alltime. I went to Target where they have The Princess and The Frog movie listed for $13.99. Before going I printed off a $5.00 coupon from Disney.com for this paticular movie. I also printed off a $3.00 Target coupon from Target.com for any Disney movie. Online I found that if you buy 2 participating boxes of Band-Aids I could mail in a $5.00 rebate. I could also buy a roll of Frog tape (painters tape) for another $5.00 rebate. These rolls are about $6.00 and not needing painters tape I opted for the band-aids since we are on our last box anyways. I was also able to print out $1.00 off 1 box of bandaids from Target.com 2x's. When I got to the register I didn't know if the cashier would accept 2 coupons for the same product but she did. So my $13.99 - $5.00 - $3.00=$5.99. Target is selling there band-aids for $1.88 a box. With my 2 band aid coupons I paid $.88 a box (not bad). I can now fill out my rebate form and get an additional $5.00 back for buying this movie which I will have now paid $.99 for.
Maddie hasn't seen the movie yet but sure wants too. I'm hoping I can keep it hidden until her upcoming birthday (June). I know my little princess would love this as a birthday gift.
If you want this movie I'd suggest you go to Target quick. Or at least before there band-aids aren't on sale anymore.

It looks like you are doing great. It was great to check out all the darling pix of your family and I had to chuckle to myself...Justin's wife did the same colored mashed potato cupcake and bows on a picture board....it must be a Mormon thing!
