Is Couponing Worth It?

Sometimes it is hard to convince people that couponing and saving money can be easy.  So today while the kiddo was with daddy running a few work errands I ran to Target and Walmart.  I spend just five minutes before I left the house making a list and cut out coupons I had printed in the last week.  I was to both stores and back home in under 40 minutes. 

You tell me was the 5 minutes I spent clipping coupons worth it.

I bought the following:
4-boxes of Special K
2-packages of Scotts Tissue
3-bottles of Similac Infant Formula
1-bottle of Excedrin
2-packs of Lunchables

$7.43 total for all these products.  I saved over $27.00

*I'm going to try to make this a weekly feature showing you how easy it can be to coupon.  Going forward I will also give links to all the printable coupons I use.  Also remember to always take your reusable bags as most stores give you a $.05 credit per bag.
