Eight dollars! Can you believe it?


So I have heard for a while now about all these amazing deals you can get with using coupons and learning how to work it to your advantage. Honestly I thought, nah, that is way too much hassle-you cant be saving that much money that its worth it.

My friend Stacy has been doing it for a few months and we went to hang out with her and her family and she was going shopping with her sister and invited me to come along. They were so generous with sharing all their coupons with me and trying to explain it several times. ( I am still a bit confused but learning) 
So they got everything ready in my cart that I wanted that they had coupons for. It was time to check out and I made my first transaction...4 pkgs. of frozen Pizza Flatbread sandwiches that retail about $3.29 each. I got my debit card out and they rang it up. After coupons it was 24 cents!!!!! I was in shock! I was like....uh...I have a quarter in my purse and gave it to the cashier. I was so excited! Anyways, I got all this food for 8 dollars (retails over $60) and I am so proud. I just hope I can do it on my own now!
Hayley! Are you so proud of me???? I figured of all the people who would be.....it would be you.

I've just started using coupons too. I'm not that good yet but now I've been inspired. That is so great that you got all of that for only $8. If you have any tips let me know.
