I love saving money - who doesn't? :)

I've decided to chronicle some of my savings here - mainly from coupon shopping. None of the stores in my area "double" coupons on a regular basis, so I'll never get to the really extreme savings, but I think I do pretty well. I do tend to "stockpile", but only on things my family will use, and only when I get good deals.

This blog will be a chronicle of my shopping adventures, but will also, on occasion, contain other tidbits of useful (and not so useful) information.

Target Shopping Trip - April 30th

Did pretty well - I was able to find some good deals on Clearance items, and was able to use quite a few coupons that were expiring 4/30.  I didn't keep track of all of the "regular" prices for the items on sale or temporary mark-down, so my savings calculations are only from the known price.  Here's what I got:
