Coupon Inspiration: My Smith’s Mega Event Shopping Trip

Do you need a reason to start couponing? Here's my Smith's Mega Event shopping trip along with all the coupon resources I used to snag these deals. I bought 30 mega event items, and just by doing that I saved $30 off my grocery bill BEFORE I even handed over my coupons!

The Huggies Diaper deal was a lucky deal I scored with a clearance I just happened to walk upon. These deals are exciting and the biggest reason why I ALWAYS carry all my coupons with me when I go to the store! You never know when you'll come across a surprise clearance, and it's always good to be prepared.
