OK so I never really had time to use coupons. I ran into the store, maybe even on my lunch hour....got what I needed and took off. But with my extra time and emphasis on tightening the budget I decided to go the coupon route. I have even got the little organizer folder. Wednesdays are when the new sale papers come out for the grocery stores so I went shopping today. I draw the line at going to all the stores for their specials (I think you end up burning enough gas to counteract the savings) I stuck with Harris Teeter, used my VIC card, and they will double up to 20 coupons.
The best is when you have a coupon for something on VIC special. Like Edy's Slow Churned Ice Cream (1/3 less calories and 1/2 the fat). They were buy one get one free, and I had a dollar off coupon which was doubled. Oh Yeah...final cost about fifty cents!
I saved $73 off my $200 cart. Cha Ching, now is that $73 I can spend at Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival next week? Maybe half of it at least.....

I understand that spending (saving?) logic!
that is great. Don't be like me and get to the register, pay for it all and then remember you have coupons. UGH!
Have fun a Mid Atlantic. Remember you are on a budget. lol
