Couponing is addicting!
Albertsons had doublers for the 3rd week in a row last weekend (and there are rumors of double coupons coming AGAIN this weekend!). It was also the first weekend I got 5 Idaho Press-Tribune newspapers delivered to my door! I ended up buying 3 more newspapers at the store, which meant I had 24 doublers to use! I definitely added to our stockpile! This week's purchases include: 10lbs flour, 4 lbs powdered sugar, 4lbs brown sugar, 4 bottles of juice, 6 cans Progresso soup, 2lbs Tillamook cheese, a gallon of milk, a loaf of bakery French bread, 2 cans of cranberry sauce, 4 boxes of brownie mix, half gallon of soy milk, 5 packages of Oreos, 2 bags Werther's candies, yeast, 12 bags of microwave popcorn, 2 cans of SpaghettiOs, a package of Bear Creek soup mix, 8 jars of applesauce, a box of cake mix and frosting, 8 Yoplait yogurts, a sippy cup for Nolan, and a bottle of iced tea. The total value of all my purchases was $252.84. After sale prices, 3 trips to the store, 8 transactions, and more than 50 coupons, I paid $59.46. I could get used to this. I don't think I'm obsessed or addicted, but, embarrassingly, there have been multiple times when I have been woken up in the middle of the night by a crying baby and realized that i have been dreaming about coupons. How could you not be excited about saving so much money???

That's REALLY awesome! But I know one thing - I wouldn't want to be the person behind you, in line, with all those coupons! I always try to get behind a man - they are so much faster! LOL. Love, Mom
