Coupons! Coupons! Coupons!

I have recently started really using coupons. Not just for 50 cents off an item. Using store sales, store coupons, and manufacture coupons all on one item, at one time. This most often results in little, to no out of pocket expense. So fun :) Here is my latest find...

I purchased my V8 fusion from Wal-Mart for $3 each ($6 total). I printed out two $2/1 coupons from Try V8 and I also had a coupon for $1 off any juice with another purchase (that I was already buying). So my coupons came to a total of 5 dollars. I was able to purchase both containers of V8 Fusion for $1 (50 cents a piece!).

Now to the Easy Mac... I purchased these items from Target. They normally have a price tag of $2.99 each. Target has them on sale this week for $2.69. I printed off a Target coupon $1/2 and a manufactures coupon $1/2. I printed these coupons twice (so I would have one Target and one Kraft coupon per item). So my coupons came to a total of 4 dollars. I paid $1.41 for both packages of Kraft Easy Mac !
So both purchases together have a combined out of pocket expense of $2.41!!!
And here is a little heads up..Meijer has V8 Fusion on sale for 2/$5 this week. Just print up the TryV8 coupons (two of them) and you will have $4 in coupons !!!

Isn't it fun to save? Meijer Mealbox has an additional coupon for the V-8 Fusion for $1.00 off two, and then there is the one I printed off the V-8 website. I'm going to see if I can get two bottles for FREE this week!!!

Have you tried www.coupons.com? There's some good stuff there, too.
