My 1st Time!!

This is my 1st time using coupons at Walmart...........well the 1st time using them since I learned some tricks and watched one episode of extreme couponing....Yes I have only seen one show, but don't worry I am going to watch the new show that airs April the 6th I think it is. Anyone back to my small, but noteworthy haul of my 1st time couponing the right way. Here are the items I used coupons on:

(sorry the photo is a bit off color and just all wrong, but you can see what i got.)

So here is what I got without coupons:

9 lives cat food 3.5lb bag-$3.28

gain dryer sheets 80 count-$3.12

two Scotch brite sponges-0.84 each

Uncle Bens Ready Rice-$1.34

The coupons I had on hand:

9 lives cat food- $1.00 off which means I paid $2.28

Gain dyer sheets- $3.00 off which means I payed 0.12cents for that one box (man I wish I had a few more of those coupons.)

Scotch brite sponges-$1.00 off any two so I paid 0.68cents for both of them.

Uncle Bens Ready Rice-$1.00 off so I paid 0.34cents for that one thing.

So my total price without coupons was $9.42 plus tax

My total with coupons was $3.42

I saved $6.00 in all!!!

I do have one coupon to share with you all because a lovely blogger on here posted it so I will share that one the others where coupons I clipped out of the sunday paper. Here is the link for the scotch brite coupon:

Couponing Beginner Here!!!

So far I have talked about my Full Plate Plan well lets talk about me and Couponing today (3am in the morning today...lol I am a total night owl sometimes.)

So I have been reading blogs, printing online coupons, signing up to get free coupons in the mail, calling name brands (such as weight watchers and saying you want to try there products), and clipping coupons from the papers so far. Right now I have 118 coupons. I am thinking of getting a wallgreens card because i don't have one and wallgreens has some nice sales even before using coupons. I don't know if I have to pay to get a wallgreens card or not....and i don't know if they accept coupons printed offline. So far I used a coupon for canned dog food buy one get one free so I payed 0.68 cents for 2 cans of pedigree canned dog food so that was a good deal to me. considering my puppy gets 3 severings out of one can and 2 cans will last almost a whole week. So thats good.

I have also signed up for a few freebies that I find intresting. Reading blogs helps me find good freebies. Saves alot of time from having to search for them. Well thats all I really have done with the Couponing. I will write more on what deals I get and what happens as Time goes on. =]

Welcome to my blog/my life!!

I decided to make this blog because well I am always trying new things and changing the way I do things. I figured I would share what I do and how I do it.

Plus writting things do is how I remember how and what to do.

So Just to share a few new things I am trying (that will appear on this blog) and new changes in my life: Full Plate Diet (I don't like the word diet so I will say full plate plan or full plate lifestyle alot.), Couponing, Cleaning more, and Being more organized.

Thats just a few things as time goes on there will be more and more things I try and change. Don't get me wrong there are things I don't stay with long, and things I just don't do at all. I am a human and we all have a lazy bone and sometimes we don't like change. =] However, change is good for all of us because things do get boring and change can be better in the long run.

Thank you for following me and even for reading this post! (be aware I sometimes post more than once a day, but I will try to post just once.) Welcome to my blog Trying Something New....because now you are Trying Something New!!!!
