Last week's first shopping trip was pretty good, I'd say! $0.66 (yup, that's cents!) + tax for items that would have cost $32.43, had I not used any coupons.
Then my second trip earned me a $4RR, $3RR plus a $5 MIR that's en route, and all I spent was $2.50 + tax.
This week is looking to be a much lighter frugal experience.

This week, I'm starting out with a $4RR and $3RR.

I miss my super couponing days. Last year I really got into it and got in on some really good deals! But since having my 2nd, I haven't gotten back into it b/c I never seem to have the time I used to to devote to it. I'll find my way back though.
