Crazy Savings!

Little bit and I just got home from Ramey's Price Cutter. I didn't go with a list, just my coupons and the knowledge that Price Cutter doubles coupons up to 50 cents. Since Price Cutter is usually a bit more expensive on a lot of things than I usually spend, our rule here is to try to only pick up the stuff that is on a great sale and/or we have a good coupon. Another great rule is to buy the smallest package allowed on the coupon, since you will save a larger percentage of the cost. 

Our haul this evening included 24 products, all name-brand, including Yoplait yogurt, Sprite, orange juice, Bisquick, Puffs Plus, Nesquick, SuperPretzel, Snuggle, and much more. Almost all the items were on sale, and we had coupon for 50 cents off (doubles to $1) for everything but two items. The total, after tax, was $29.67. I saved $31.99, or 53%. 

Using coupons is easy, and fun. I have been doing this for less than two months! My only problem now is that I have trouble paying full price for anything.
