Extreme Couponing...

When I shop, most of the time, I save around 60 to 75%. Not this time. The show Extreme Couponers has both inspired me, and upset me. I mean why do you need an entire room for TOOTHPASTE? Everything has an expiration date.

Today was my first experience with an extreme trip. I normally buy what we will use in the next 6-8 weeks, sometimes up to 3 months worth, at any 1 time. Today I went a little crazy. Publix is my favorite store, their Buy 1 Get 1 Free sales are amazing, since you save 50% before coupons. I had a lot of fun today!

This is what I got:

90 packages of Yakisoba noodles: B1G1 @ .89= $35.55-$45 in coupons= $9.45 moneymaker
24 Homestyle Mac & Cheese: B1G1 @ 2.59= $31.08-$24 in coupons= $7.08 or .30 each
20 Bagel Crisps: B1G1 @ 2.69=26.90-20 in coupons=6.90 or .35 each
