Even the pro couponers need to read the fine print.


Ok, so my friend and i ran right over tonight to HyVee in Council Bluffs, because i wanted to hit the HUGE Quaker sale. Huge is an understatement. We and several other people stood in the breakfast isle looking so stupid for these items. There are no $1 items on the breakfast isle. They were by the meat department on an small skid.

These boxes are so tiny. I think they were made for Thumbelina. After myself, friend and several other ladies stood there laughing for about 5 minutes and my face beat red, i decided i was just going to make the best of it. So i sucked it up and bought some.

So my rule of thumb ALWAYS ALWAYS read the fine print.

Items bought:
5 Quaker Granola Bars $5
5 Aunt Jemima Syrup $5
4 Hunt's Spaghetti Sauce $.98 x4 = $3.92
Total $13.92
Total After Coupons $5.92
Total Saved $8.00

NEW BUDGET $1976.08
YEAR TO DATE COUPON SAVINGS OF $2280.36

Year to date Mail In Rebate Savings $132.71
