I know that I normally do not share too many of my shopping trips, but I definitely wanted to share this shopping trip with you! I am not posting this to boast! I am simply sharing this shopping trip with you just to let you know that couponing really does save you a lot of money! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to use coupons and save money, if I can do it, you can too! I am including how I did this trip so that you can also get in on these deals! Please note that I didn't buy only junk~ there is produce in there too!
