    Wow great job!

    But 16 bottles of conditioner/gel and 12 bottles of shampoo?
    Lots of bubbly fun to be had at your home! *tee hee*

    Im assuming you're stockpiling for the next few months and future months ahead with the non food items?

    Whoa! You did awesome! I can't imagine saving that much. Does your store double or tripple coupons? Ours don't. I live in the land of no doubles, lol.

    dolphin..yes our stores double up to .99 everyday.

    shorty..the 16 bottles of Herbal Essence conditioner & Gel were on clearance for $1.49 (original price was $2.99) and I had $2.00/2 coupons to match them so for .49 a piece I really stocked up mostly on the Gel cause I use it everyday.
    The 12 Bottles of Vive Shampoo & Conditioner were a $1.99 on sale while supplys last and I also had 75/1 coupons to match once doubled I payed .49 each.

    Thank you all for the compliments...
