Coupon Craze

I have become so inspired by the lovely starts of TLC's hit show Extreme Coupoining. Now, I don't want to become that obsessed and have stock piles up to the ceiling. I am still in college and living in a one bedroom apartment...storage would sort of be an issue! While I am not going to go to those extremes, the show has taught me that it is unnecessary to spend money on certain things that you can get for free or close to free!

I have been collecting coupons for about a week now, trying to stay organized and get familiar with things. I decided to test out the waters and see what it is like : )

::Here is my first coupon haul at Target::
Check this out - I saved over 50% on my total bill : ) Pretty sweet, huh?

The Details
Clorox Wipes: $1.61
Dentyne Gum: .04
Mio Water Enhancer: $2.49 (This was the costly item. I only had a dollar off coupon)
Sensodyne Toothpaste: .24
Colgate Pro Whitening Tootpaste: $1.24
Ibuprofen 24ct: FREE!
Rubbing Alcohol: .02
Hydrogen Peroxide: .52

The Damage
Total Retail Price for EVERYTHING: $13.40
MY PRICE: $6.14


While this is nothing compared to those crazy insane wonderfully talented couponers out there, for my first time...I am satisfied : ) 


What do you think? Do you guys coupon!?

I SHOULD coupon....I'm a poor college kid too. However, you did pretty well saving all that money! 50% is some good savings :D
