My New "Interest"....This Is A Good One!!!!!!!!!!

So, I was @ a birthday party last Saturday and I met this super mom, Stephanie...As we started talking I realized she was really into clipping coupons. I dabbled a little into coupon clipping last summer, but never really got the AMAZING results I heard other people on TV talking about! I was happy if I saved $20 a week, but couldn't believe some stories of women walking out of the store with hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise for only pennies!! So anyway, I was chatting with Stephanie when she told me she spent a jaw dropping $200 per month on her groceries (that's including toilet paper, people!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and she doesn't do Wal-Mart or Sams club........ She has three kids like me and needless to say, I was inspired. So, this morning armed with a few tips Stephanie had given me and my coupons, I hit Bloom for triple coupon day!!! My results were AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got $141.09 worth of merchandise for.....drumroll please......$51.89!!!!!!!!! How cool is that? Very, right? So here is a list of what I got in case you are skeptical that I purchased actual food products!!!! The price beside the item is what I paid for it!
