Encouragment
Okay, here is the question you may be wanting to ask. Does using coupons really work?
I can answer that with a very loud YES!!
Before I started this couponing, I was trying to cut back as many expenses as I could. But no matter how much I cut back, we still had to buy groceries and things for the household.
One day I was reading a frugal blog that linked to a coupon blog. That was the beginning!!!
Oh, I had tried to use coupons before but they never seemed worth the effort. Something would always go wrong. ...... Well, I learned that I was doing it all wrong!!!!
Coupons are money!!!!!! Money that can be used INSTEAD of the dollars in your purse to pay for what you need.
Does it take time --- a little but so does working!!!!
Does it take being the crazy coupon lady --- depends on how much money you want!!!!!
Does it work --- you bet.
So I want to encourage you, have you been looking for a way to cut back your household expenses? If so, I challenge you to try it for (3) months ------ if it does not work for you, okay, but if it does, you will be HOOKED for coupons!!!!!
Remember to keep it simple and Shop Smarter, Not Harder, Ginger

WINN-DIXIE
Yes! I went to Winn-Dixie again!!! I am loving that P&G promotion with their sales this week.
Okay, here is how I did, hope it gives you some ideas:
#1 Transaction (P&G promotion to get the $10 coupon for more grocery order)
(1) Swiffer Duster Kit 3.99
(1) Swiffer Duster Refill 8.49 (not part of the promotion)
(3) IAMS Dry Cat Food 17.97 or 5.99 each
Total to pay $30.45 (OUCH!!!!, but wait for the coupon part)
(I actually used a prepaid Visa card sent from Rite Aid for a February rebate to pay $15 of this)
Received a $10 coupon on next order ---- went to service desk to redeem these coupons:
(1) $1 off Swiffer kit -1.00
(1) Buy Swiffer kit and get refill FREE -8.49
(3) $2 off (1) Iams Cat Food from S inserts -6.00
Received $15.49 cash back for coupon credit. WOOHOOO!!!
Okay,
#2 Transaction
20 WD canned veggies 10.00 or .50 each
10 WD Chili Beans 6.00 or .60 each
(2) Boxes Hungry Jack Instant Pot. 3.58 or 1.79 each
(1) large can of Hormel Chicken Breast 2.99
(1) 16 oz. WD Mayonaise FREE w/Hormel purchase
(2) small Hormal Chicken Breast cans 2.50 or 1.25 each

This is perfect example of how to use store promotions/rebates with coupons to get more for your money.
TOTAL OUT OF POCKET IS $41.18 (but remember, I paid $15 of that with my prepaid Visa rebate from Rite Aid so that was money I had already spent on other items. So I actually spent $26.18 NEW money, I guess you would call it, on the entire list above.)
