Coupon Crazies!!!

Am I just crazy or does it seem like quite the majority of coupons are for junk food? We are trying to eat healthier (as I've got some serious baby weight to lose), and I'm trying to save money at the same time by using coupons. (Let's be honest - I just get a kick from being able to brag about my good deals!)
I have decided that coupons were created to hook children onto very unhealthy products; it seems quite the majority are for little kids' sugary lunchbox snacks. Yes, I know there are some good ones, but not that many. I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow (or Wednesday - not sure yet), so I'm trying to plan our menus for the next two weeks with coupons to help out. I've spent I don't know how many hours today just looking for decent coupons!
And by the way, I can't believe people SELL coupons on Ebay?!! What in the H-E-double hockey sticks is THAT about?
I'm such a coupon newbie that everything is shocking to me! haha...

Thank you, Heather!

Thanks to Heather for sending me the incredibly awesome Target coupon site! I bought sooo much baby food - a two hour event for Mateo and me. My receipt was really long, and of course I had to pour over it after I left. Most of the jars cost me just 7 cents each. Yep, you read right! The double carton packs cost me from 34 to 42 cents each. So just accounting for baby food, regular price this would have cost me $71.77. Instead I paid $21.77. Score! That's like $50 in free baby food!

And my coupons didn't stop at just baby food. I bought a total of 20 liter-sized sparkling waters
(which I drink every day anyway) for just 9 cents each! And those large boxes of Luvs diapers you see were on sale for a dollar off PLUS I had coupons for $2 off each one. And I bought even more than that today with coupons... ground beef, orange juice, cookie dough, ...
After it was all said and done I figured out I saved $65 in coupons. Now I can go get a pedicure! *wink!*

And just because I can, I'll leave you with a picture of my Gerber baby.
