Couponing: The New Sexy?

I have mentioned my couponing habit before, and after a weekend of doing more of it, I am compelled to again.

This weekend, I made seven different shopping trips:  3 stores on Saturday for those coupons that were at the end of their three week "ripeness" and 4 stores on Sunday for those coupons that were at the beginning of their "ripeness."  Before store special savings and coupons, my total bill would have been $679.03.  After the store specials and coupons, my total was $467.90 -- a savings of $211.13 (31%).  Was it worth it?  Hell  yeah!

Again, many of my purchases were things for RLF.  At CVS, I got four boxes of Kellogg's Raisin Bran for $8!  I saved $9.56 just on those boxes of cereal.  That's pretty exciting to me.  Plus, I know that RLF will eat it.  I don't eat cereal (been going low carb -- didn't even like to eat it when I wasn't low carb, it requires to have fresh milk in the house).
