This is a pic of one of my biggest hauls to date. What can I say I got bit by the extreme couponer this week. :) I bought:

• 80 boxes of assorted post cereal
• 100 bottles assorted flavors Bertoli pasta sauce
•  20 6packs of quilted northern toilet paper
• 10 bottles of Helmans mayo
• 40 assorted flavor packs of knorr sides
•  8 6packs of Nestle splash orange and lemon waters
• 4 right guard deodorants
• 6 velveeta skillets
•  12 kraft mac and cheese
• 2 dial hand soaps
• 2 10pack bic pencils, 
• 2 10 pack BIC pens
• 6 Mentos gums in a tube
• 6 Sundown Vitamin A
• 6 Sundown Vitamin D

All of this for a total of about $21.00 While there is a lot of random stuff here it is useful. It is not likely that you will have weeks where you are able to stock up on all things at once. One week may be pasta sauce, the next may be pasta. The point is to stock up when the price is good and sooner or later it will all even out.

Now when I say stock up do I mean RUN don't walk and clear the shelves of all stores selling that sale product? NO! This is not what I mean at all. What I mean is when it is at a great price, also refered to as a stock up price, get as many as you have coupons for or feel that you would need. Even if something is free and you just don't like it then you do not need to bother with it. Of course always keep in mind when couponing it is a great feeling to be able to donate to and help others  that could use the items. For instance my family will not use all of what is pictured. I got all of them because they were great deals and I knew I would be able to donate to others. Since this trip I have already given away over half. So when you think about it for 35.00 not only was I able to provide for my family, I was able to help other family, friends, and even strangers. Women's shelters, soup kitchens, churches, animal shelters and many other non profits welcome these types of donations.
