Reader Trip: Jamie Saved 85%

My friend Jamie messaged me on facebook last night because she was sooo excited about her recent shopping trip to Albertons and Dollar General, she just had to share.

I thought she did an outstanding job, so I asked if I could share her trip with all of you.

Here is everything she got:

From Albertsons:
12 boxes of cereal 
4 boxes of gushers
4 boxes of fruit by the foot
4 boxes fruit snacks variety pack 
4 bags of chex mix

From Dollar General
1 20 oz coke (not pictured)
4 snickers bars (no coupon for those)
1 Lysol, no touch soap dispenser

Her shelf price total was: $172.61
Her total (with special sales) before coupons was: $127.71
Her total paid after sale price and coupons was: $26.78



That's a savings of 85%!!    I think Jamie's already a pro, how about you?


Here's what she had to say:  "I hope i can also inspire someone to begin couponing. I had been watching your posts for several months before I decided to try it, and I'm so glad I did, but now I'm hooked!"


I also hope that this can encourage anyone who is still undecided about getting start.  It's really not as hard as it looks!


Leave Jamie a comment and encourage her to keep up the great work!
