Intro!

Hey, everyone... or whomever it concerns haha..

This is just a journal to keep track of my purchases in CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, etc... while using coupons.

I've always been a coupon-er but never to this scale. I'd save a few cents here, a buck there... but never really paid attention to their true saving potential.

This is mainly for myself, just to see how much I've progressed over time, with my couponing skills, etc.
