So my new favorite show is extreme couponing. I told myself I would try it while I was off track--not to their extreme, but to my own practical extreme. I spent 20 minutes today looking around online to see where I was going to go couponing and Target seemed to be my best option. I printed a few coupons...read up on a few couponing blogs, gathered the coupons I already had and $7.84 later this is what I ended up with.
It was about $53 worth not counting tax. I think I did pretty well for my first time. The candy and fruit roll ups weren't really needed, but they were a tasty treat for dessert tonight. I am never buying something without a coupon again...except for maybe an eye exam co-pay ;)
body wash, baby wipes, 2 aveeno baby lotions (1.50 each plus a $5 target giftcard) all the gerber things I paid about 2 dollars for including the sippy cup, toothpaste, 2 things of deodorant, band-aids, 2 reeses and 8 fruit roll-ups.This made my day!

I hear about people doing this but I just don't get it! How do a few coupons do this? PLEASE EXPLAIN!
After I read your post I watched a few episodes when they came on TV- some of those people are really crazy! I agree, though, I am definitely going to pay more attention to coupons and try to use more of them now!
