Crazy for Coupons!

• O.K., so we all like to find good deals, & heaven knows with the economy the way it is, we certainly don't mind saving a buck or two. I used to be really good to clip coupons & use them in combination with store sales & store coupons. Lately, I've gotten lazy & haven't been as frugal as I should be. But, that all changed...
  
  Today, I recommitted myself...and have become crazy for coupons once again! Here is what $66 (give or take a few cents) got me today:
  
  

• 7 boxes of Caprisuns
• 7 boxes of cereal
• 7 boxes of PopTarts (which earned me a free movie ticket...at least a $7.50 value)
• 6 jars of Skippy Peanut butter
• 4 boxes of Cinnabon breakfast bars
• 12 full-sized Hersheys chocolate bars (for summer S'mores)
• 9 packages of Pepperidge Farms Goldfish crackers
• 3 packages of Oreos
• 4 boxes of Kraft Mac 'N Cheese
• 4 HUGE cans of Bush's baked beans
• 1 container of Crystal Light drink mix
• 1 package of Crystal Light on the Go mixes

Now I know some of you who are even crazier for coupons than I am could have bought this same amount for less because you've been stockpiling good coupons for longer, but this is what I did with this week's newspaper ads & a few online coupon sources. I thought it was pretty fantastic. I spent $66 & saved well over $100.
