For $6.16 I obtained some three dozen coupons online, including shipping. Yesterday, I used half of them at Stop & Shop to score big.

On the advice of long time reader and coupon savant Evie, I purchased coupons online at CouponsandForms.com instead of using TheCouponMaster. (CouponsandForms is a nominally better site, but the minimum purchase is $5, as opposed to $3 at TheCouponMaster.)

Loading so many of each item made me feel like I was on Extreme Couponing. Would the cashier accept all my coupons??? Oh, the drama!

My cart rang up to $65.67 but I paid just

$40.43. That’s 39% off!!!

Everything in the picture was purchased on sale and with a coupon – except for the deodorant, which I had I coupons for but they didn’t ring up and I didn’t notice the mistake until I had loaded all the groceries in the car, returned the cart, and strapped the baby into her carseat. I would like to go back today, return the deodorant, and re-purchase them to make sure the coupons go through (I have extras.) My total savings would have been even bigger had I noticed this error.

The deals I got:

• Contadina crushed tomatoes 32 oz on sale for 4/$5
