FINALLY! True Coupon Savings

Okay, so I have been clipping my coupons, buying on sale, following the blogs... but I never felt like I was really as good as the ladies online or even my sisters and mom were. But this week, finally success! I spent $14.92 in two transactions at Albertsons in what should have cost me $52.89. That is a savings of $37.97. I didn't have time to take a picture of what I bought because I had to get back to work, but here is the break down:

Ritz Crackers $2.49 (-$1 off coupon plus another $1 with my doubler)
Jet Puff Marshmellows ($1), Hershey Chocolate ($3) and Graham Crackers ($2.49) (-$3 instant savings, -$1 off coupon, -$1 doubler)
$1 Colgate toothpaste
Total transaction=$3.27

Sweet Baby Ray BBQUE Sauce $1 (I already used my coupon for this or it could have been free!)
3 Kraft Salad Dressings $1.50 each (-$1.50 coupon, -$1.00 coupon, -$1.00 doubler)
Wheat Thins$1.47 (-$1.00 coupon, -$1.00 doubler)
Skintimate Shaving Gel $1.50 (I already used my coupon for this as well or it would have been $0.50)
Chicken Breast 1.88 pound
Hamburger 1.88 pound
Hot Dogs buy one get one free $5.49 for one and then -$1.00 coupon and -$1.00 doubler
Total Transaction $11.65

I love the taste of sweet savings in my mouth and can't wait to get more incredible deals! Thanks to all the internet mom's who inspire me!
