This is what I got for free tonight between Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS and Publix (the sugar was the penny item)
The total was $58.26. I actually ended up making a little over $3 by using coupons and checking out the sales.
I went to Publix on the way home and saved $40 using coupons and buying things that were advertised on sale- all things I actually needed.
I really owe a big "THANK YOU" to Tracy for inspiring me and teaching me the ropes.
These were some sites she recommended to help me get started.

Southern Savers is my favorite!!
**Look for all of the Cottonelle .50 cent coupons. At Kroger they always double anything 50 cents or less and they have thier 4 pack for 99 cents--so you get free toilet paper.
