I Couponed!

So I've wanted to get into coupons for awhile, just haven't done it. I would do a little here and there, but just on my monthly grocery shopping trip and it was usually only a few dollars. But, I finally did it. It took a lot more planning than I thought, but sickly enough, it was kinda fun. It was stuff that I will actually use, which is nice. It was tempting to buy random things you MIGHT use just to save more money, but than you realize you'll probably never use it so really it's not a good deal.

For all you experienced "couponers" out there, this is probably a lot for you, but I got all this:

(2 Boxes Huggies, 10 Boxes Cereal, 4 Bags Cereal, 1 Swiffer WetJet, 3 Dyers Ice Creams, 2 Chips Ahoy, 2 Shampoo/Conditioner, 1 Package Sausage Links, 1 Milk)

And only spent $60!
(About $140 Before Coupons)

I was mostly excited because I usually pay $40 alone just for the diapers, so I felt like my trip was a success. Did 2 transactions and MADE $3 on my second transaction. It was awesome; I'll definitely be doing more of it!

I don't get how this coupon thing works!! What do you actually do to get that much off of your grocery's?

Please share how you did this. I have seen the show and I am still blown away. I just don't understand where to start. That's crazy that you managed to get two boxes of diapers that cheap.
