Before and after picture of my "stock pile"



I started couponing at the beginning of April and this picture was taken last week (around the 3rd week of May).  This does not include most of the food I have bought (Only some cereal, soy sauce, splenda, vinegar)...the rest is in my pantry.  I have to say all of this shown, I have not paid more than $1.00 for each item...and the majority of the product I got for FREE or made money on!!

For example, I didn't pay ANY MONEY for the 30+ bottles of body wash, all the floss, multiple packs/bottles of tide stain release, toothpaste, some of the razors, splenda, scotch tape, deodorant, some of the laundry detergent....

I paid only pennies for the bars of soap, toothbrushes, magic erasers...

I paid around .50 for each pack of the baby wipes, some of the cereal, paper towels...

I paid less than a $1.00-.80 for each pack of toilet paper, the rest of the cereal, each pack of pampers, etc....

*I have donated some items to a church collecting for Joplin and I am giving more this week*

    That's a great amount of stuff for only a couple months worth of shopping. I have only been couponing since around the beginning of April too.

    How has your couponing going? It gets addicting, doesn't it? =)

    Yes It is very addicting!! Its going ok. Kind of hard to coupon here because the main stores to shop at here for good deals are Rite Aid & Walgreens and they don't stock up well on their sales. People line up at the doors Sunday morning and they are sold out in 20 minutes. And they don't get another truck in till Friday!!

    I don't know about rite aid, but yes, I do know that you have to be one of the first people at Walgreens in order to get the good deals! Maybe If you're ever out late on a Saturday night (after midnight), you can get way ahead of the crowd and get your shopping out of the way that night (since it's technically Sunday)! =)
