    Default Coupons are a beautiful thing!

    I'm so proud of myself. I have been clipping coupons for about 3 weeks now to build up a stack to use, and went to Walmart this weekend to do the grocery shopping. Here's how I did:

    Original total: $152.76

    Total After Coupons: $87.94

    I knew I had a lot of coupons, but I had no idea it'd add up to that much!

    I also went shopping VERY early in the morning (like 5:00am) so the crowds wouldn't distract me from my task -- and standing in line for ages while the coupons are deducted wouldn't annoy anyone behind me!!

    Yay!

    Good job, we have a couple of stores that triple coupons up to $1 every couple of months so I try to keep a good stock pile of coupons for when they do.
