$11.65

Behold the mountain of food! This was my latest couponing adventure, and the total for all of that food was a mere $11.65. Granted, some of this is absolute junk food (4 boxes of pop-tarts, 2 packs of cookies) but some of it is real quality food: a gallon of soymilk (which alone would normally cost $6) Morningstar Farms meat-type products, Kashi Granola bars and cereal.

How did I do it, you might ask? The fine art of couponing! Combining manufacturers coupons with store sales and coupons. Plus, Kellog's has a rebate right now - buy 10 products and get a $10 rebate. So technically, I'm still waiting to get that $10 back. But I will, and it will be a glorious day.
