Coupons again - check it out!

Okay. Here is my trip today. I would have liked to do better, but again, I am just learning.

In this first picture (or first trip), I bought 1 lb. ground turkey, 3 lite cool whips, 2 packages of Lipton dried soup mix, 4 packages of cream cheese, 6 boxes of crystal light on the go, and 2 packages of cubed steaks (1 large, 1 small).


The total came to $19.47.

This next picture's purchase was 2 packages of Lipton dried soup, 2 cans of refried beans, 4 jars of peanut butter, 4 packages of marshmallows, 1 package of cream cheese, dreyers ice cream, snuggle fabric softener sheets, 2- 1 lb. packages of ground turkey, and stew meat.

The total here is blurry, but it is $19.70.


And finally, my kids really needed some 'fun' cereal and I was out of cake mixes (a staple at our house). This was not the best deal, but still okay (4 stars and not 5). 1 box of Cheerios, 1 box of Cocoa Puffs, 1 box of Trix, and 2 cake mixes.


The total came to $6.75.


I also bought a gallon of milk - $2.12 (including tax) - not the best, but I was already there.

SO, The grand total that I spent WAS $48.04.

NOW FOR THE GOOD PART!!! Here is what I saved:
Preferred savings: $49.69
