Today, I had to take Cooper to the doctor for his horrible diaper rash. The poor little guys has been fighting an ear infection since March 5th. We have tried 3 different antibiotics, causing an allergic reaction with an outbreak in hives. Now, he is fighting this terrible rash and the ear infection doesn't seem to be getting any better. But, on a good note, he is still happy and hasn't had any fevers!

So, the doctor recommended a certain kind of cream. Even though, I knew I was going to "pay" a pretty penny for it, so against my better judegement, I decided to make a one stop shop at Publix without any coupons. I was avoiding having to stop again and unload my super tired, ready-for-a-nap son!

What was I thinking going in there without any coupons?

This is the first time, ever, since October when I started couponing that I went shopping without coupons. Let me tell you, that will never happen again!

I almost had a heart attack when the cashier gave me my total ($113) when I only had 7 bags of groceries. It hurt to pay that much!

Rite Aid $118 before coupons, $45 after

• 3 boxes of huggies diapers
• 2 4pks of quilted northern
• 3 pks of wet ones
• 2 zicams
• 2 loreal make ups
• 4 pks of huggies wipes

Publix $57.33 before coupons, $1.63 after coupons

• 12 pks of kotex
• 3 colgate toothpastes
• 4 sundown fish oils

These are just a few of my many successful couponing shopping trips. I know it takes a little bit of time to save money...not much, just a little. When you can save this much with coupons, why wouldn't you?

I say spend the time to save money or you will be spending money to save time!

In the famous words of Hannah Montanna, "No coupons, say what?"
I will never go into a grocery store without coupons again!!!
