So I've been watching the show Extreme Coupon. It's crazy how much they can save but they're hoarders! Who needs a thousand tubes of toothpaste? And their stores double coupons and all these other deals. Unluckily where I live there are no stores that double, but that doesn't mean you can't find deals. Here are some great deals I found.
All this for $60!

I know I did go to three stores, but they're all close to each other, and close to home. Clipping coupons and matching them to sales isn't that hard. It just takes time. And I'll get better as I go along. Saving money is great, especially with gas prices going up like crazy!
way to go girl!
