Back at it

So after a very long break from "super couponing" as I will call it, I am back looking for deals again. Thanks to my friend Kristie for re-inspiring me (and for DVRing "extreme couponing" to get me motivated again).
This time I have set some rules for myself:
-Look for products you love and find them cheaper than normal
-Don't go for every free deal just because you can
-Buy stuff that you can use, or if you know someone else who can use it
-Don't pay money for products you won't use
Within these rules in mind, I will probably spend more than before, but I will actually use most of the stuff I buy too:)
Here is my "deal" trip to Walgreen's from Sunday.

I found most of my deals at Hip2Save.
Individual candy: .80 each, used Buy 2 get 1 free coupons, and used .39 each in-add coupon afterwords. =.13 each
M&M's larger packs 2/$4, $1/2 store coupon, $1/2 MC = $1 each
Dove 4/$15, used 3- $1 MC and 1- .75 MC, received $5 RR = 1.57 each
Aveeno 25% off, Sunscreen 7.49, reg lotion 5.99, baby lotion 4.49x2=8.98, small lotions 2.24x2=4.48 Used 3- $3/2 MC, received $5 RR =$2.15 each (which is as cheap as I can find it anywhere)
toothpaste $3 each, used 2-$1 MC, received $4 RR = free
Tape B1G2free 1.99, used 2 $1 MC and in-add coupon= free
Dial soap .50 per 2 pk on clearance. Used for filler items.
