I used to be pretty serious about money-saving and coupons a few years ago. Then I got pregnant and moved to a new town within a short time period and found myself too overwhelmed to keep up with it. My husband has been talking about us getting back into it and I was a bit hesitant. It’s a lot of work and I find it difficult to just jump right in. Your $5 challenge would make it so much easier for getting started. Thank you!

My $5 :
Butterfinger Snackerz 2/$1 – x3
Halls 1/$1
Valentines candy – Various Price
COUPONS –
…Butterfingers snackerz buy 2 get $1.00 off – x3 = 6
Halls – VidPerk $.50 off and All You march mag $.50 off
Valentines candy was marked 75% off but I think it was more!
FINAL PRICE:
$0.56 – I paid out of pocket because I didn’t want to use up any ups since I didn’t get any back!
