I got inspired by a friend that RAOK'd and sent me 5 brandsavers in july and I wanted to do something special so i decided to do a one month long personal couponing challenge where i would try and save $500 off pre sale shelf prices and use $200 in coupons and try and keep my costs down low. Doing this challenge for one month made some great things happen... i have been able to refill my stockpile... i got to see what is possible for me with coupons....I got to exceed my goal... and i had $137 more at the end of the month! This was not a over all grocery challenge... it was a COUPONING challenge where i didn't exceed a one year supply... after all 5000 free shampoo's does not a stockpile make!... this includes rebates and airmiles and coupons as well. I used the savings tracker to keep track of my shopping trips to stay on track. Here is what I got over the month. (values are at the bottom of the page)
22 marcelle cosmetic products
12 crest 3D white toothpastes

I would highly recommend trying this for a month to better or tune up your couponing skills. It is amazing how much you can get done on a little budget! Now imma tired and i need a lil nap! LOL (typos don't count i am too tired to care right now LOL!)
