Before I had Jason, I was an avid coupon lady. I cut coupons, used the binder, sorted and shopped all of the best deals. For some reason, after I had Jason, I stopped cutting coupons as much. I still did but nothing like before even though I really should have kept up with coupons.
Toward the end of January, my friend and I went to an extreme coupon class. Just like that I went back into the coupon game and started saving money! Yes, it takes some time and effort, but I have fun with it and like to see how low I can go. I think everyone could benefit from getting coupons and doing it.
Now instead of using a binder, I keep coupons in a crate and cut only what I need. I use web sites such as krazycouponlady.com and freecoupondatabase.com
Lets take this week for example – I spent a total of $55 but I purchased the following:
2 packages of baby tomatoes
bananas
cucumbers
strawberries and blueberries
5 packs of tic tac gum
8 boxes of Pasta
6 boxes of General Mills cereal
Tide pods
purex
bounty paper towels, Charmin toilet paper, Puffs tissues, Dawn dish soap, Alwayd
4 cans of chef boyardi
chocolate milk
orbits gum
I feel pretty good about this because before my average grocery shopping ranged from $60-100 and I would buy less! We went to five stores to get the right savings. Drug stores can provide some of the best deals!
If interested in knowing what I did, here was my coupon plan for this week:
