    Default I saved ~$20 with grocery coupons today

    Holy carp! This never happens to me. I'm lucky if I get one coupon a week, or one *good* coupon a month. But one of the stores here recently set up a coupon exchange box at the front door and I dig through it once in a while and today I really scored big:

    1.00 off kielbasa (on sale for $2)
    1.50 off frozen dinner (on sale for $2) X5
    $5 off cat food
    buy 2 get 1 canned cat food (.80 value)

    plus the two store coupons: .90 off 1lb butter and buy 2 get 3 on hershey candy bars (2.37 value)

    Total saved: 19.94
    Use it up, Wear it out,
    Make it do, Or do without. ~unknown

    But if you try sometimes you just might find

    Coupon addict. Stock only what you use and use what you buy.

    $20 bucks is fantastic savings
    Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.
