Krazy Coupons

So I have this friend who turned me on to couponing and I have to admit it is a whole learning process. This was my first multiple transaction purchase which involved manufacturer coupons, store doublers, catalina's (coupons that print at the register) and a mail in rebate! I know, very involved right? Well I made the voyage to Ontario with all five kids to try my hand at using my fist full of coupons and was told by the girls at Albertsons that I had to actually leave the store and then come back in if I wanted to use multiple doublers (double the value of manufacturers coupons). Yeah, that seems easy enough but factor in the Tallis carrier and Molly in the seat of the cart and the rest trying to 'help' me. I decided to head over to Payette and finish my shopping there. I took this picture and mailed off my rebate forms and finally this week I received my checks!
The breakdown-
Total before coupons-$78.00
Out of Pocket after coupons-$42.00
Total after rebates in the amount of $60.00-are you ready-A PROFIT of $18.00!!!
I got to take home all these groceries and I made eighteen dollars, I like that kind of grocery shopping!
