How I Saved Money This Week Shopping By Using Coupons

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:

Cvs – Tide pods – coupon load to card – 12-16 count, Purex 

Rite Aid – General Mills Cereal- ss 2/11 – 3 coupons .75 off 2
