Couponing 101: The Test

 I am pretty sure I have the cutest coupon helper in the world..



Tomorrow is the big day.

The day I venture out on my first large couponing adventure.

I have a pink Trapper Keeper full of coupons.
Almost every coupon I could get my hands on for the last 4 weeks.

The coupons are organized and categorized.
The lists are all printed,3 hole punched and filed in front.

So neatly in fact,
that I am still in amazement that I created it. 

I am headed to Winco.
Mostly because I have yet to check their everyday prices on the things I buy most.
So we will call it research.
I am pretty sure that Winco prices plus coupons will make for a fun trip.
Now that's what I call shopping!

My rules:
*Stick to the list
*Sales and coupons only. Patience pays off with sale prices elsewhere or at a later date!
* $20 allowance for "Pennies On The Dollar" purchases. (buying things not on the list because they are super cheap with a coupon AND in an attempt to create stockpile of my dreams he he)
*Check expiration dates.
*Keep a tally and stick to the budget.
*Check and double check coupons
*Make sure everything is scanned properly

Wish me luck!
