Coupon Crazy

I promised I'd post about my first coupon experience. Well here ya go. The following is going to be a rundown of my coupon day. Bear with me, it was a busy day and this will be a busy blog.

Here's an example of how my savings will be set up:

Huggies diapers Reg. $8.99 - Manu. Coupon $2 off / 2  = $15.98 for 2 packages!

Name of item (Reg.) Regular Price of item (minus) coupon (equals) total paid!

Total Cost $17.98  - Total Savings $2 = Total Paid $15.98

Okay so we started the day at Rite Aid, because it was going to be our simplest trip:

Suave Shampoo Reg. $2.29

Suave Conditioner Reg. $2.29

- Manufacturer's coupon $2 off / 2 Suave items

Total Cost $4.58  -  Total Savings $2 = Total Paid $2.58

Next was Target:

JACK-o-lantern

Yep, that's my son... in a pumpkin. Mind you, he wouldn't even touch the thing until it was fully gutted and no yucky stuff was inside. I think my germophobia has made him scared to get his hands dirty/messy. Luckily, his daddy is about as far from a germophobe as they come so he can do all those yucky, germy things with him.

So how did we get to this point of Jack-filled-pumpkin? Here's the story, in pictures...

Ready to pumpkin pick!

Moooooooooom, let me down.. I see mud! (Don't ask me why he likes mud and not pumpkin guts?)

Searchin' for the PERFECT one..

Found it! But he's fake smiling cause mom's taking too many pictures

"Here, I'll hold the top and YOU stick YOUR hand in there mama"

Yummmm, pumpkin!

SURPRISE!

Overall, Jack's first experience with pumpkins was fun and entertaining for both him and his daddy and I :)

Come back in a couple days for the debut of my newest obsession... couponing! I've been researching, clipping, printing, reading, and organizing. I can't wait to share my first coupon deals with you all.
