I started watching it the first week that we arrived in NY. It was Wednesday night and there were a bunch on before the new one. I was in our bedroom cleaning, organizing and getting things unpacked and I got glued to the TV. During the commercial I ran out to the den and told Sean about it, he wasn't too impressed but after the second commercial when I came running out telling him that someone got about $1800 worth of groceries for around $100 he had to see for himself and changed the channel :) I then had my MIL watching too and was determined to give it a try!
Now I don't expect to save hundreds of dollars in one trip, but I have always loved to save, I mean who doesn't, so I have been clipping coupons alot more than I ever have in the past, and following blogs of other extreme couponers! I look forward to Wednesdays when I get a sneak peek at the sales, Thursdays when the weekly circulars come in the paper and Sunday when all the coupons come! It has been a little overwhelming but I've been figuring out a system that works for me!
With such a huge change in our life, Sean getting out of the Army after 7 years, moving to NY, still owning a home in NC, and trying to raise our family, saving is even bigger on my list of things to do. It's always been a priority but now its an even bigger one.
This past weekend Pathmark advertised that they would have TRIPLE coupons. BONUS!
I got all of this for FREE :)
On top of getting all of that for FREE I got all of this discounted
Using other coupons, my pathmark card, and adding from zavers I got 2 bottles of apple juice at $2 each, 2 bags of Herr's tortilla chips 89 cents each, 4 boxes of pasta at 88 cents a piece, AIM toothpaste at 88 cents 2 cans of PAM at 74 cents each and 4 cans of tuna at 75 cents each.
Great deals all around and I've still got a ton more coupons and planning :)
I am going to try my best to document it all so I can continue to encourage myself and others of all the ways to save! Happy couponing :)

I wish the commissary doubled and tripled coupons :( There is lady here who teaches couponing classes, I am going to one in June. I will share what she teaches! It's so addicting!
