Coupons..not just for groceries :)

Today I got a total of $142.97 worth of items and I spent a grand total of : $24.56!  That is an 83% savings!  Here is what I got:

1. Hallmark Gold Crown ornament: $10.50 (used $10 off printable) paid $1.32
2. Hallmark Christmas socks 3.99 & 3 chocolates (.49 each) (used $5 off coupon from a magazine) paid .89
3. 1 $22 Bra from JCPenney online catalog used $10 off $10 purchase code: Total $0.00 (yes NOTHING)
4. 1 $22 Bra from JCPenney online catalog used $10 off $10 purchase code: Total $1.08
5. 3 bags of Hershey Kisses @ Rite Aid (used buy 2 get 1 free man q, 2 $1 VVs and $1/2 VV coupon) (3.59 each).  Total due was $1.47 used Rite Aid gift card from purchase of my prescription...OOP=$0
6. $70.99 worth of groceries from Harris Teeter (including a LARGE $17 bag of dog food) (used e-vic coupons, paper coupons for a total of 28.93 vic/6.79 e-vic) OOP= $21.27!!! I had a total of 18 items, the cheapest one being a bag of sugar @ original price of 1.99.   My average came out to $1.18 each!  It's a SUPER trip if my average comes out less than my cheapest item!

If you average out my total cost of the day by the number of items- my average cost per item was 88 cents!  AMAZING.
