My first shopping trip with coupons!

[Chriscadia]

I was so pleased today going in with my coupons!
I used in total 16$ worth of coupons plus I bought many things that were on sale so had extra savings.
I was just wondering if any of you from the Moncton area have ever been able to go on a shopping trip with it all costing almost nothing. Can it happen?
I'm still trying to gather as many coupons as I can.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!

I have had free toothpaste, body wash, Vitamins, Laundry detergent, dishwashing detergent, yogurt, juice, icecream, and almost free ($0.39 Dog Food) Free Dog food....if you collect coupons, and purchase sale items, it is possible to get things for free or almost free.

I have coupons I am planning on using this week to get me a pretty good haul at WalMart, but still have some price checking and clipping to do. I will post on here when I have done it, so you can see.

It's addictive...welcome to the world of couponing! I started using coupons about 3 months ago, and it's amazing how much you can save!

Thanks Ruthie! I've still got lots to learn. Oh and one thing today was I need a binder or something to organize my coupons and not use a ziplock bag with all of them in it!
Wal-Mart is where I went today to get Febreze 2 for 3$, mascara 2 for 1.97$ each, free febreze noticibles plug in. Those were the best deals I got today with rollback and coupons

I've saved about 50% of my total cost using the sales and coupons I have, which is pretty good... now that I've found more sites for coupons too its helping since I'm on such a tight budget...

With all the shopping I did in the past few days I thought my husband was going to kill me. So yesterday after my small shopping trip I just put everything away including the bags so he wouldn't know. He does know that I'm trying to get a stock pile. It would help out a lot for the summer when I'm not working. But yes I've just started using coupons and now know to wait until a sale.
I saw that some of you are able to get toilet paper REAL cheap. I really hope to be able to get to do that too.

Hey Chriscadia, I'm fairly new to couponing too but have found you can get quite a few things free or nearly free. This week at Walmart I got men's Gillette shaving cream which was on sale for $1.46 each and I had a coupon for buy 3 save $5 so I was actually making money off of them. I got the trial size packs of Dizolve laundry detergent at $1.99 each with $2 coupons. I got Crest Pro-health toothpaste with a free coupon from the denist and free protein bars with coupons from the Redplum inserts. I also found some Gillette Fusion Proglide single razors on clearance for $3 and I had coupons for $2 off. My bill basically covered part of the razors and the taxes. It was really exciting! I hope to be able to find out how to get toilet paper, dishwasher detergent and cat food really cheap too. Oh, also I found a GREAT website which is amazing and lets you know about all the great deals and freebies. If you haven't already heard of .com you have to check out her website. I love it!
