Shopping Trip 9/15/11

 

My friend and I went shopping/couponing today.  This is what we were able to get with coupons and sales!

If all items were bought at full price w/o sales and coupons would have been $116.03 including tax
She actually spent $55.01 out of pocket after sales and coupons, including tax
We saved $61.02 through sales and coupons

This is how we did it:
