Is Couponing Worth It?

You tell me is couponing worth it?  Last night after I put the kiddo to bed I took about 45 mins and ran to CVS and Target and picked up a few items.  I love getting my deals not only because I save money, but it allows me a little time to myself. 

Here is what I bought:

$7.30 Total

  1. You should have used the $1 off the xtra laundry detergent. You could have gotten it for .48 cents! Ours was $1.48 before coupon and we were allowed to use 4. So I got 4 laundry detergents for under $2!!! So yea, it's worth it! LOL!

  2. Oh yes I used the $1.00 off coupon (did your print in Spanish too). I also found $1.00 coupons for Xtra at Dollar General. I wasn't sure if they would work at CVS but they did without any beeps!
