Becoming a COUPON DIVA!!

 I am on my way to becoming the next COUPON THANG!! Lol! Well, I can say that I am definitely learning. I am not yet to the point of devoting 60 hour a week on couponing like some of the big extreme couponers I've seen on TLC, but I am becoming a coupon disciple!
 

At Kroger's this week, they are having a their Buy 5 Participating Items & Get $5.00 off instantly at checkout.

I just got a huge deal on Frosted Flakes cereal on sale for $1.99, I got a coupon from Kellogg's for buy 2 and get $1 off, and I got Huggies Diapers for $7.99-$3.50 (coupons) = $4.49 each!!

Since I had 2 x $3.50 in coupons I actually only paid 99 cents for 2 jumbo bags of diapers!!

Krogers has Huggies diapers on sale for $7.99- but you have to remember the catch is that you have to buy 5 total participating items to get that price. I had coupons from before that expired today, but in today's Smart Source in the Sunday paper there is a $2 off Huggies Little Movers coupon, and $1.50 off the Pull-Ups!

This was my biggest savings so far- I saved almost half off my total bill! Getting a little more coupon saavy!!

Maybe you'll catch a glance of adorable baby George- the newest little addition to the chimpanzee family. Let me tell you- he is just absolutely the CUTEST little thing! We snapped this during our last visit while he was playing with his family.
