These pictures really do it no justice as I also have containers all under my sinks full of products. You cant' tell what everything is on the shelves and not seen is a lot of other things (like 15 tubes of toothpaste and 15 gilette fusion razors) I get all my hygiene products (shampoo, gel, deodorant, toothpaste, mouth wash, mousse, etc for FREE so I don't mind stocking up!) If there is ever a natural disaster we will be the cleanest folks around!
I have had an exceptionally good past week of shopping. Between CVS and Publix I spent about $16 on the items below (over 45 things! A lot of them are blocked off by other things, I'm not the best photographer!) and saved over $190, plus I have over $30 extra care bucks to use at CVS and a $10 mail in rebate for 2 of the items there.
I realize it is not all the healthiest of items and I assure you I did purchase fresh produce I just didn't include it in my savings. Anyways, my food and hygiene storage is rapidly growing and I feel pretty good about it all! I do feel bad thought that our playgroup discussions have all turned to what the good deals of the week are. Hopefully once all the buzz (yes I know it seems silly but there really is a buzz going all around!) settles down we can get back into the social world. It has helped me feel a little less silly about it all though.

how do you do it?? i think u should do a blog on it to teach the rest of us!
I, for one, am sooooooo glad you came out of the closet. It's not silly at all! It's just plain amazing. Thanks for sharing that Teddy Grahams deal this week. I went and got my 4 boxes. Love it! I sit here and check the sites and then think about calling you to ask things like, "How can I make that purchase of Charmin this week even cheaper?" hahaha. Glad to know I'm not the only one with lots of questions!
You rock! So when can I come down for a workshop? I must admit I tried getting into it but it seemed too complicated and time consuming. I guess I need lessons from the best! Way to go you frugal girl you!
Wow! Do you know what a talent that is? Absolutely amazing! I would love for you to share more, but I understand if you feel like it's your little baby that you want to keep to yourself!
brindikins@hotmail.com thanks! :)
I've been following money saving/coupon blogs the last few months. I can see how it can be addicting but so fun to get a good deal. I got a rebate check back from Walgreens for $20 and that was pretty sweet! Would you ever be interested in being a "guest" on my blog and teaching some of your tips?
i would love to hear more . . . how do you do it?
princezlin@aol.com thanks SO much!

I also want to ask you about your ward and stuff. Are you guys in Melbourne? We're contemplating a Florida move. Anyway, I will e-mail you after you e-mail me!
I think it's great you do this. I have not had the patience or resolve enough to do it. It probably isn't as hard or as time consuming as I think it is, so maybe I can start sometime in the near future. Do you have to go to many different stores?
i like this blog a lot! we need to come visit you guys so i can get a face to face tutorial from you!!
Thats awesome Ness. I actually got into couponing myself just a few months ago and its AWESOME! I love all the savings. I use a program called savvyshopperdeals.com (but its based out of Utah). Do you use a specific program? or do all the work yourself? I've also heard couponmom.com is good.
Cool! I am too! I am glad to know that I have a fellow couponer! Although I am not as big into Walgreens/CVS as I am into Publix. I can't always hit the drugstores every week.
