Wal-Mart Couponing: $30.62 before Coupons down to $16!

Generally, I'm not a huge fan of shopping at Wal-Mart. Partially, because it's congested - but mainly because I feel I can get a better value elsewhere. Kind of ironic considering that their store brand is named "Great Value." Nevertheless, I went to Wal-Mart one friday in November because I had nothing better to do (Woohoo to couponing @ Wal-Mart at 9:00p.m on a Friday night while all of your friends are clubbing, on a date or at the movies!) I felt like a BIG winner... 


So, I gathered my coupon binder (yes, I have one of those - I'll post pics soon, it's super cute!) and off to Wal-Mart I went. If it weren't for a certain someone slipping candy into the cart while I looked away (the 8-year-old boy trapped in my fiance's body) I would have walked out of the store for less than $8.
