My Kmart Shopping trip

Here are the results from my K Mart shopping trip this last week....



Here are my totals:
Amount spent: $49.42
Total Value: $184.61
Total Saved: $135.19
Percentage saved: 74%

So I was a bit discouraged because I wasn't planning on spending that much. But it was the first time I've done something like this, so I guess I don't have to be that great at it. I did learn a lot however, and I think I'll be better prepared next time.

So I put things into perspective..

$50.00 equals the normal value of these things....



Which means I got all this for free...



I guess I'm okay with it! ;)

I don't get it! How do you do it? The other day at Broulims the checkout guy said "You saved [10 something]" and I said "Do people really save more than they spend?" and he said "Yes all the time". I was shocked. I don't know how to do it, so I would appreciate your help :) I spent $75 at the store today for probably less than what you got.

I seriously need to get on this coupon train. That's amazing.

You did GREAT! I always feel like that when I do a Kmart deal.. that I spend more than I actually thought I was going to.. but really.. you never save 74% anywhere else on anything! Yay!

Yeah, I have no idea how you guys do these coupon things...I totally don't get it. A tutorial would be helpful!
