For those of you that are coupon sceptics that think I run all over the place and waste tons of time and gas couponing let me tell you this...It only took me about 1 1/2 hour to plan and another 1 1/2 hours to shop. I left the house at 8:45 a.m.(took my daughter to preschool before shopping) and returned home at 10:30 a.m. You can do this too...it's not hard, but it does take a little bit to get the hang of it. It is WELL worth the time and effort!
There are 3 photos below with the details on my purchases listed below each photo.
