When I tell people that I am a coupon shopper, they usually look at me like I'm crazy. I often hear, well I don't waste my time clipping coupons because it isn't worth it. I also hear that you can only get "junk" with coupons. Well check my recent Kroger's shopping trip....What's in my buggies?

Maybe not my best shopping trip but I still save $161.11 in coupons!
Total Cost for all of this = $156.53 but since I have not been shopping in at least 3 weeks, I feel I did alright. Other than the 2 pks of cookies and 2 doz. donuts, everything is either a healthy item or a necessary household/hba item. So Junk? I think not. Waste of time? Definitely not.
I still need to buy milk...but another local grocery store gives you a milk ticket every time you purchase a gallong and I have enough to get some milk FREE. So I'll be getting my milk for FREE this week.
