Coupons, Coupons, Coupons!!!

So something some of you may not know about me is I like to coupon....I love a sale.....and I am frugal most of the time or so I think I am.....I guess Hubby would be the real judge of that one:).....anyway, during tax season I always get behind on my couponing and have to catch up. I have been caught up for a month or so now and getting back in the groove. Two weeks ago when I went to get a double paper (so I would have 2 sets of coupons) I almost fell out to see that they went up to $5.....ok, our double papers have only been $3.....so normally I get a double paper and then cut my coupons.....organize them in my 3 ring binder, go through my sale papers and then shopping....I have decided that once Jr. is here that she/he and I will let couponing be one of our outings each week....and we can just go up and down the isles (in the morning hours when the store is not as busy) and find all the in store specials that were not in the sale paper.....anyway....today I went couponing and saved 56%! Ok, I really like the percentage of savings to be higher than that but 56% is ok especially when I had to buy meat, bread, etc...things that I did not have coupons for and just was able to take advantage in the store sales... Some of the great deals I got today using my coupons.....
