Couponing

So, since deciding to become a stay-at-home-mom, I've started learning the art of couponing. That's right, couponing is a verb. It takes some time to figure it out and get yourself organized, but it's pretty amazing the kinds of deals you can score! I used to buy mostly generics to save money, but now I'm buying name brand products for wayy less than generics.

For example, I went to CVS yesterday for these three things: Tissues, Foundation and Blush.

The original prices...

Tissues: $2.39

Foundation: $15.99

Blush: $12.99

Total: $31.37

What I paid...

$7.32 (& .43 of that was tax)

BUT WAIT!!!! There's MORE!!!!

I got back a $10 ExtraCare Buck, which is basically cash off my next CVS purchase. So, all in all, I made a $2.68 PROFIT!!!!!

Pretty cool, right?

And here's what I picked up at Target today for just $16.46 (original price $50.55):
