My friend Michelle has been couponing with a vengeance for the last while. Lately (with the scary economy and job market), I've been thinking that I need a stash of food storage "just in case". So, being the nice friend she is, she took me out yesterday and we stocked up. We got 12 cans of veggies, 12 cans of fruit, 22 boxes of panty liners, about 60 pouches of pancake mix, 20 boxes of pasta...and my grand total was like $12, because I needed a couple other things that I didn't have coupons for. We went to 2 different Targets and Walmart. It was kinda crazy! She does this stuff all the time, and I'm just getting started, but it was pretty fun!
OK well I don't have a picture of those goods that I can put on here. Thought I took one with the camera, but I guess I only did on my phone. BUT, I do have a picture of my first solo trip couponing...that is an entire story all on it's own, for another day.
This go around, I got 100 pouches/boxes of potatoes, 50 boxes of pasta, some random things I needed from the store (frozen pizza, milk, diapers, etc). We had to do all those coupons at 3 stores to get it all done. Aaaahhh couponing...I'm not quite used to doing the massive amounts yet. It makes me nervous. Just a smidge :)
