Hey Guys,

I thought I would post pictures of my shopping trips today along with some links to helpful blogs if you are interested in learning to "super" shop with coupons. Be sure to read CVS 101 on the Money Saving Mom site. The first two pictures are from my two transactions at CVS. The other two pictures are from Target. The last picture is from Walgreens. I will give a breakdown of each transaction following the pictures. Be sure to visit these blogs for more information:

I almost forgot I did two transactions at Walgreen's for Dr. Pepper.
