Nevermind, I know why and how “coupon” became a verb, but it does seem strange to me at times.
Hubby and I went to Publix yesterday and got several good deals. Our total before coupons was $64.08. This included $2.89 for Nabisco Crackers that the checkout guy rang up twice by mistake. I called the manager when we got home and told him we were charged double and he said to bring in the receipt and he will reimburse us. This also includes $3.20 for a couple of combs and $2.59 for granola bars my husband bought. If I had known he wanted to buy granola bars I would have brought a coupon.
Some of the highlights of the trip were free Philadelphia Cooking Creme (have to figure out what to do with it!) and .87 Toll House Cookie dough. Yum. 
Now, this might not seem like much of a big deal to seasoned “couponers” (hehe, “couponer” is a noun too), but this was our very first official extreme couponing trip. I only have inserts for 11/06 so far so I can only imagine it will get better and better as the weeks go on.
