One week back and I remember why couponing is so Addicting!

[Alexa222]

In the last year I had another little boy making my amazing family now a family of 6, I took a rather long break From couponing whilst moving and during pregnancy but now things have slowed down again so back to the grind. My first week back I recieved my first envelope in the mail from a fellow SCer and felt the immediate rush, that rush that makes most think im crazy but I know you all understand!
I stopped at the grocery store not expecting to even use my coupons as I hasn't even been home to restart my binder and get things sorted and I came across a clearance bin of mini wheats for 2.99 I was so excited as this is my DD and DS favorite cereal Only to remember I had received some $2 off coupons from the trade so I ran out to my truck and grabbed the envelope.
I used 4 coupons on boxes with $5 savings, 4 boxes of cereal for $4 sounds good to me! But then after that I couldn't stop so I went out to my truck after completing my first purchase clipped the coupons from the box and went back for more. I ended up getting 16 boxes total, expiring not until October for $15.84 and lots of coupons for fresh berries yay!
Also as I was picking up the few other groceries I needed I seen another bin filled with my favorite coffee, Folgers vanilla biscotti k-cups, regularly retailing at my store for $9.59 on sale for 3.49!! So with my $3 off WUB 2 I paid $1.99 per box, I grab 14 boxes of them and I am a happy momma having enough coffee to get me through a couple months!

I missed couponing but even more so I missed the SC community, I'm so glad to be back at it!!

yeah remember this I joined this event I think at least twice, didn't coupon for awhile thought it was taking so much of my time after getting more than twice of my income before. Now, I am just starting couponing again too, was also wondering if SDM still do this event? I think I scrolled the threads at SDM forum but haven't seen one lately.
