Total Savings 30.33

For my Tuesday shopping I spent a total of $30.38 and saved a total of $42.51.

I would have to say I am slowly getting pretty good at this coupon thing. One thing I am bad at is throwing away coupons for things that we use because they are a different brand than we use. For example I had the Finish Dishwashing Detergent coupons two weeks ago but threw them away thinking I will never buy the tablet kind they are to expensive but lucky me was able to find them online for today's shopping trip.

So have you saved anything on a recent shopping trip? If so share about it and leave a comment.
