coupons

i took a page out of tlc's "extreme couponing" book and tried my hand at it today. not to the scale that those crazies coupon, but for a first real go-round i didn't do too shabby.
our local grocery store was running an ad : buy 10 smart ones frozen meals, get them for $1.38 each. it would have been nice if they had the ones we like in stock. however, i remembered hearing that walmart recently changed (for the better) their coupon policy. i crossed my fingers that their price matching policy is also up to snuff. lucky for me, it is. even better than up to snuff, actually; customer service told me i didn't even have to buy 10 to get the $1.38 price. how awesome is that?! answer : pretty awesome. on top of all this, i had two coupons : $5 off any 12 and $4 off any 10, or $9 off any 22. sooo...
 $1.38
x 22
$30.36
- $9.00
$21.36
÷ 22
97¢
did you follow all that math i did right there? 97¢ for a meal? i can handle that. now, if i can just find the patience to sit for longer than 10min at a time to do the real couponing thing.

  2. i wish i had 40+ hours a week to sit down and search the internet and print off coupons (that cost you how much to print) and then map out where to go to get all the deals. wish i had the patience.
