Well, I did have a couple of exciting coupon success stories today.
I got a tube of colgate for 29 cents, after stacking two coupons. My goal is super cheap toothpaste. There always seem to be coupons out there
And, I got two cans of cat food for free-- actually I made money on them. I had a coupon for $1.50 off any size, and they only cost 77 cents each, but the store gave me the full $1.50 off each. I bought two, had two coupons. So they in effect lowered my bill on the other things I was buying. (I feel a little bad about this. I expected them to be free, but not to get value beyond their retail price.)
That's it. I did have to buy paper towels and toilet paper at retail-- but store brands. And, I bought kid 1's first set of big boy underpants. Trying to get out of diapers.
Anyway, it felt good to finally get something for basically nothing via coupons. Gotta stretch that budget!
coupon success, albeit tiny

My goal is to never again pay more than 50 cents for toothpaste! (and that's a regular sized tube!)

You're right. I shouldn't feel bad. Those pet food people kicked in 2 cans of free cat food plus $1.50 to help me buy my other stuff. I can see why people get addicted to this!
