I had a very busy and productive day of shopping today. I went to Walgreens first and did my $5 Challenge. I only spent $2.61 and saved $84.07. I will list my shopping trip below.
I also went to Jewel-Osco and did some grocery shopping. Jewel is currently running three different Catalina promotions with another one to start on Thursday. In total I did three transactions, I paid $132.15, saved $53.80 with sales and used $74.38 in coupons. I also have $24 in Catalina coupons remaining. That is a total savings of $152.18! It is a good thing we recently purchased a small freezer because I am going to need it after this shopping trip.

That is amazing, you really know how to use your coupons. Whenever I look for coupons I never seem to find what I want to buy, and if I ever did use them I would end up buying things I did not need. But maybe things work differently over here in the uk than over there.
