3/18/12 shopping trip

Time to reconcile what I said I was gonna do with what I actually did! Now, my couponing goal is to save overall 60%. Not sure if I did that or not, so let's see.

Side note: I have been notating when my coupon is .50 and doubled to 1.00, etc... For the sake of my typing hands, let's just assume those are doubled so you will see them as $1.00 coupon unless they are only taken at face value.
