Marsh Triple Coupon Special!

Attention Indiana (and some Ohio) couponers! Marsh Supermarkets is tripling all manufacturer coupons up to $3, up until tomorrow! Triple coupon deals don't come around often, so take advantage of it! I got up this morning and took a trip to the store and got some fabulous deals!

Here are the best deals I got:

Wheat Thins Stix: 2 for $4. I had 3 $1/1 coupons that tripled to $3/1, making a dollar on each! I got these coupons at Wal Mart, at the sample station, but I think they might have also been in the mail at some point.

Era Laundry Detergent: $2.99. I had a $1/1 coupon, so it was free!

Kraft Dressing: $1.66. Had $1/2, so I paid $.32 for both of them!

Zest 3 pack bar soap: $2.59. Had $1/2. Free.

Glade Room Spray: $3.09. $1/1 from Country Living Magazine. $.09!

My best tip is to just go in with all your coupons and spend some time going down each of the aisles. I found great deals, just by doing this!

Before my store card and coupons, the cost of the transaction was almost $59. After coupons, the final cost was $.53! My total purchases included Era detergent, 2 jars of Ragu, 3 cans of Pringles, Wishbone dressing, 2 bottles of Kraft dressing, 2 tubes of Crest, Kikkoman teryaki, Glade Room Spray, French's honey mustard, a Hidden Valley salad kit, 3 boxes of Wheat Thin Stix, 3 pack Zest bar soap, and Vaseline lotion. All for less than a dollar!

I also stopped by Wal Mart to get more Nexcare band aids, Wilkonson disposable razors, and Aquafresh trial size toothpaste, all for just tax. My total spending today was $.96. Less than my large coke from McDonald's!

How I Got Started

I just finished my first year of college. I lived in a dorm for this year, but next year I will live in my very first apartment. I am very excited, but also nervous. I don't have many expendable funds, rent and utilities have pretty much wiped out my budget, so I came up with a plan. I will coupon, save money, stock pile, and find as much free stuff as possible to have a fun, frivolous life on a dime. Bear with me, I am just learning as well, but I will share my best deals and hopefully it will help you as well. Also, let me know your best tips and tricks. Did you coupon through college or start as a wife and mother? Let's share our best saving tips and together create a better life for all.
