What? ~ You don't care about free money?

OK ~ I just started "couponing" again since the cost of gas and every stinking thing I need or use has gone through the roof!

Remember our last gas price scare? ("Drill Here..Drill Now!") Well, I played around with coupons then but never got serious about them. I found other profitable outlets and pretty much gave it/coupons up.

But a few weeks ago I caught a show on TV about some "Super Couponers" and I have to say... I started wondering again... and collecting again.  This time... much more organized!

After taking the advice and putting it to the test...my savings on one trip (on things I might/or normally buy) amounted to :

KMART -
                             ~ MC : $20.37
+DBL CPN SALE                9.00
                                __________
total saved                         $29.37 (off a $46.59 purchase)

To sweeten the pie ...a coupon was printed for $10 off my next $10 purchase the following week! (FREE $10 in merchandise) Total trip value - $39.37 - making my total expense for this trip $7.22 (provided I cash in my $10 coupon next week)

To add some advice...you must make sure the cashier scans your KMART rewards card before scanning even one item to get the rewards doubles!

This is only the savings on one "coupon trip" I made in a week... I saved BIG and I can't wait to show how! Stay tuned!
