listen to what I got for $59.47 total
I have decided to make a more concerted effort to use coupons in addition to store sales.
I went to Food Lion, 2 CVS's, 2 Walgreen's and a Lowes Food. The total time spent was about 1.5 hrs spent over two evenings.
20 pkgs 1.4 oz Royal Gelatin
1 ea 33 load purex HE Laundry Detergent
2 ea 20 load purex HE complete 3-in-1
1 ea 32 load purex HE crystals softener
1 ea 32 load Wisk HE Detergent
6 pears
1 head of celery
1 tin of altoids (full price)
1 piece of fudge (full price)
3 ea Family Sized Kellogs cereal
2 ea 16 oz Quaker Oat Squares
5 bananas (full price)
1 lb carrots (full Price)
1 pk Charmin 12 roll basic TP
4 pks 3 oz Wiskas Temptations
2 tubs Right Guard Deodurant
1.5 lbs pork chops
1 ea 18 oz irish spring body wash
4 ea 12 oz pkgs Kraft Singles
4 ea Store Brand 14" Frozen Pizzas
Cash Register receipts says I saved $74.97. I paid with my Paypal Debit card which gives me 1.5% back at the end of the month. which means I will get .89 more back.
I am about halfway through a 88 load bottle of clothes detergent and have enough for 233 more loads in my stockpile. I was 2 to 3 loads a week so so I have at least 2 years worth of detergent on hand. I think I am set on that for a spell.
How do you think I did, be honest?total debt: $23977.09 updated 04/02/11

I think you did fantastic! Don't you love it when a plan comes together!
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.

Interesting - the first word that came to my mind was FANTASTIC too!!
Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

I think you did a good job. I don't leave home without my coupon binder. You never know if something good is going to come up. I find the best deals when I am not looking.
