What Can YOU Get For $5?

This week I wanted to show that you DO NOT have to make special trips to different stores (although you can get a lot of great deals doing so!) and you can still make good use of coupons at the stores you frequent each week. 

The items pictured above were all purchased at Wal Mart and Target last week.  The cost of these items were $5.05 and I did use a coupon for each item purchased!    

My main point being, that while it is GREAT to get lots of goodies for free or nearly...And I TOTALLY love coming out of the store with bags full of stuff and still have money in my pocket, ANY money saved by using coupons or shopping sales is just that much more money left in your family's budget. 

If the "extreme" part of couponing doesn't work for you and your schedule, that's ok!  You can still use coupons on items that you purchase on your normal weekly shopping trip to save money!
