I think I can be proud of this for a first week of rolling!
On a side note, I don't have plans to keep all of these goodies to myself. We will be passing on some of these items to my fiancées family and while I do plan on keeping a few of each (especially the ramen!) the rest will be passed on to a local food bank who are always in need of toiletries.
Also, it's worth mentioning that I visited 6 separate stores throughout the week to get all of these. At 5 out of the 6 stores, I had great experiences with helpful staff, a few even encouraged me to roll a few more times! The only bad experience was at the second store when an employee interrupted my cashier mid-transaction, and told me not to "try that again" at her store. Needless to say, I won't be returning to that location again.
WOW! Mr Deals, you are awesome. I find it almost unbelievable to see what you are accomplishing. My husband is very impressed and wants me to start following your lead into coupon savings. We live in a small town, so I'm not sure I will be able to duplicate your success completely, but I'm willing to try.

Thanks Susie! I'm glad that you and your husband enjoy my blog and are excited to start saving. My fiancee and I have a lot of fun clipping coupons and seeking out great deals - I'm sure that you will find it's a great way to spend time with the one you love. :)
