Talking Just had my first 'mega-savings'

I was looking at the site and found a few deals to try out for my first attempt. One I couldn't take advantage of because SmartSource didn't put a coupon in my local inserts . But I saw Carnation Evaporated Milk for free, though the site is a little off. You have to buy 10 to get them for 49 cents each. On top of that I had 4 coupons for buy 2 and get 50 cents off and with my Kroger Card I was able to double those up.

All in all, I spent $1.14 on 10 cans of Evap Milk, saving $12 off the bill.

A great beginning and great motivation to keep working at this.

Good job Scott!! Just remember to watch the expiration dates as canned milk does not have as long of a shelf life as other canned goods.

Default great job scott!

I just started couponing a few weeks ago, and let me tell you, the more you read on the forums the more you will learn and save, it's a little addictive. but I don't mind since it is saving my family money, great job again!
