New Couponers Share Their Savings At Target and Publix!

Melanie and Maria sent me an e-mail about their incredible savings from last week! The cool thing? Both of them are "newbie" couponers. If they can do it, you can too! So check out their savings below and be inspired to start couponing as well...

Maria went to Target and got everything pictured below for only $10.43 out of pocket. She saved $71.30! Wow, Maria! Great job!

Melanie has been couponing at Publix since the beginning of February, and she finally discovered what a huge difference competitor coupons can make! On this trip she used Food Lion, Target, and Save-A-Lot coupons. Unfortunately, her husband was too quick for her -- he unloaded all the groceries before she could take a picture of her savings (very sweet of him)!

Here is what she bought, though:

2 - I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray
1 - Gallon of milk
1 - Silk Soy milk
4 - Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers
2 - Frusion Smoothies (4-packs)
3 - Coffee Mate Creamers
1 - V8 Fusion Juice
1 - bundle bananas
2 - Right Guard Sport Gel deodorants
2 - Muir Glen Tomato Sauce
2 - Sundown Kids Vitamins (Marvel Heros - 60 count)

Total before savings - $66.46
Store/competitor coupons - $17.50
Manufacturer coupons - $14.60
Store sale savings - $15.87
Total spent OOP - $18.49

Be sure to leave comments to congratulate and encourage these two new couponers! They did a fantastic job!!!
