Second multi-item trip on coupons!

I've been using coupons for years, but like lots of people, it's become a lot bigger, more planned and gone "viral" on just how far you can go. I had been first intrigued to learn more on stacking, matching sales with coupons, ordering and printing on the daily after my first big score. I had received a pamphlet from Kellogs with larger value, and happened to notice everything was on sale that was in them at our Superstore. After that trip, and getting multiple boxes of cereals, snacks and granola bars for about $2, I was hooked.

This was my second go at it, it's not to big, but I'm proud :)
