Do you want to know what coupons I used? Here you go:

2 - coupons for FREE product from an Aunt Jemima promo on Facebook (expired)
2 - $2/1 printable coupons from Silk. Register here and take the survey - you can print it twice!
1 - $1.50/2 Wishbone printable from Target.com
7 - $.50/1 Mahatma rice (from a previous Sunday insert, not sure on date)
1 - $1/1 Johnsonville italian sausage printable (can print twice!)
1 - $1/1 Crest toothpaste Publix coupon (Stocking Spree booklet - no longer available)
2 - $1/1 Crest toothpaste coupons (prior P&G insert)
2 - $.85/1 ICBINB printables
5 - BOGO Trident gum coupons (prior Sunday insert)
5 - BOGO Trident gum Publix coupons (from their yellow flyer in stores)
1 - $2/2 Oral B toothbrush coupons (prior P&G insert)
1 - $1/1 Oral B toothbrush Publix coupon (Stocking Spree booklet)
5 - BOGO Right Guard deoderant coupons (prior insert)
5 - BOGO Right Guard Publix coupons (from their green flyer in stores)

Now for the Right Guard - the Publix coupon is for free bodywash when you buy deoderant. But my store has been sold out since the sale started. So I asked the manager if they would substitute the deoderant for the bodywash, and they said yes! So it pays to ask.

If you watched Extreme Couponing the other night, that was not real couponing. This is. Don't expect to save what they did on that show. Several of the stores broke their own coupon policies just for the show. So don't get discouraged if you can't walk away with $600 worth of groceries for $6.

• If you haven't yet, you should register with Vocalpoint. You get some great coupons from them & free samples, too.
