This morning I bought 20 packages of pasta, as shown here in the above photo, for a grand total of $2.39. You heard me right. For about 11 cents a package. I am dabbling a bit in couponing and am quickly learning that it can be time consuming but very beneficial if you play the game right. I am still not ready to dive completely in, most real couponers get 5 Sunday papers every week and drive around to 12 different stores to get the great values. I just print off good internet coupons and review Smith's and Fred Meyer's ad's online. I am picky about what I buy, because even if it's a screaming good deal, we don't need 10 boxes of pop-tarts.
Remember that problem I had in November of buying a lot of Tillamook? They are having that same sale at Fred Meyer's where I can get the cheese for 3.99. I am stocking up. I guess we can have homemade mac and cheese for years to come! I will head back over to Freddie's tomorrow so I can get more cheese (I only have 4 blocks!) and use some coupons to get me some 25 cent cereal.
Anybody else out there starting to coupon? What websites do you use?
