My First BIG Shopping Trip Couponing

I went to Wal-Mart to get the weekly shopping done, coupons all in my binder with sale ads, PM (price matches) wrote down, my list, money and lots of hope. I decided to get what I could out of Health and Beauty first. I grabbed a cart, got out my list, coupons and notebook. I went threw each isle, sometimes twice to make sure I didnt forget anything I needed. Here is what I got:
7 packs of Schick Razors
Gillette Deodorant
Gillette Bodywash
Listerine Mouthwash
2 Old Spice Deorants
2 Axe Bodywashes
Edge Shave Gel
2 Crave Cat Treats
1 pack of Orbit Gum (3 pack)

All this would have been $48.66 but with price matches and coupons I only paid $11.18 I saved a total of $37.48 I was so amazed I could save so much. And the best part was, each pack of razors came with a $3 coupon. The razors are $1.97 so I get an extra $1.03 from each coupon towards my total. Today in the mail, I got several coupons from Colgate and the company that makes Dial. All I had to do was call the 800 number on the side of the products.

12 Weeks of Christmas, Week 2

Here is my 2nd ornament. I used CTMH (Close To My Heart) chipboard ornaments, gray wool and clover meadow inks with red ribbon and I stamped out a Christmas Poinsettia C1102 (no longer sold) in Holiday Red and Cranberry to finish it off. I used: Dimensional Elements Ornaments Z1337, clover meadow is a retired ink. Gray Wool Ink Z2125

Now to my best bud/consultants site http://c2mh.blogspot.com/  I love how she displayed what she did, very good idea. I need something like that for my ornaments. I love making these ornaments, cant wait to display them when I get the Christmas tree up :)
