This is why I coupon! This would normal cost $57.34, it only cost me $2.57. I used $37.00 in coupons making up over 1 month of newspaper. I know for a fact $15.00 of the coupons came out of last weeks paper and I only spent $7.50 on it. So I'm made back double my money. 

Here is what my time couponing was worth my making $47.27. I spent 1 hour couponing 1/2 hour looking up deals and 1/2 shopping. That means I made $23.63 an hour coupon worth my time.
