I am moving part of this blog...

This blog was started with the intent of posting about my families various trips to Disney and camping. Lately I have gotten off onto another tangent, so you restore it to its former purpose; I have started a separate blog just for talking about my shopping deals.

The new blog has expanded on my coupon shopping and adds some more of the resources I use. I hope you will join me on my new blog "Keeping Your Cents".

Thanks and I will see you there,

A savings of $56.41 at Winn Dixie today.

I had a good trip at Winn Dixie today.  I haven't regularly shopped at Winn Dixie for years now, but a former workmate is getting me back into the swing of things.  I went today and had a great trip.

This week Winn Dixie is running a promotion that if you buy 4 participating Kellogg's products on one receipt, you receive a free galloon of WD brand milk and 1 dozen WD brand eggs. 

Sorry for not taking a picture, but I was so excited to show my DH the deals I got that I didn't take pictures.

I feel like I have finally graduated to the status of a seasoned coupon shopper.

I went shopping with coupons at Wal-Mart tonight, and I feel like I did a pretty amazing job!  This was the first time that I required a manager override for the amount of coupons I had.  That was nerve racking to say the least!  Standing there watching the customer service manager go through each coupon to make sure it was okay for her to override it. 

Anybody know the coupon limit, so I don't have to get an approval again?
