And This Is Why I Use Coupons

I love coupons.

Have I mentioned that before?

How much would you guess this all cost?

Retail Value (before sales or coupons) was $225.25

Sale prices brought the total to $207.37

Coupons brought the total to $131.26

I saved $17.88 on sale priced items and $76.11 with coupons for a total savings of $93.99.

I love it when I can match coupons with sale items.
