The Super Coupon (or, actually productive coupon-clipping)

So, my mom recently introduced me to this site: http://jillcataldo.com/ Essentially, it's a site that lists the current specials and deals at your local grocery stores, and offers links or other information about additional coupons to use alongside those deals in order to get some really. good. values. At first I was skeptical and fairly sure that things like this would only lead me to purchase things that I don't need for the sake of "saving" (spending) money. Some of the deals were just so good, though, that I couldn't *not* give it a whirl, especially with a $4 off an $8 package of diapers coupon. Additionally, there was a sale on bacon-wrapped fillet mignon steaks (yeah, yeah, they're not *top notch*, but even BAD fillet mignon is still just bad fillet, right? I thought they'd be nice to have around for Easter-tide.) Anyway, the deal was buy 1 package, get 1 free at $7.99/package of two fillets. THEN, I printed two coupons from the manufacturer's website, one for $3.00 off of one package, and another for buy three, get the fourth free. So, in the end, I got three packages for free, and got $3.00 knocked off the one that I did pay for--adding up to a grand total of $5 for 8 bacon-wrapped fillet mignon steaks. Not bad, eh? I figure, even if they're not great, we can find a way to eat them at that price! All in all, the steaks were the only thing I bought that would not have been on my grocery list originally, and as I'm marveling at my receipt right now, I'm estimating that this grocery bill would have been roughly $22 more than it was if it hadn't been for all the clipping.
