CRAZY about COUPONS!

O.K. so I have to share. Since the beginning of the year. I have been really trying to shave down our food budget. I was introduced to a web site www.fistfulofcoupons.com. I really didn't know if I could stick to a food budget, we were spending between $500 and $600 dollars a month. As a Mom with young kids you gotta feed them, I really didn't know how these other Moms were spending only $200 a month for a family of six. Now I am still not that good. But I have been hovering right at $300 a month since January, and have been able to build a food storage, and have tried some products that I would never have bought before because they were to expensive. The picture of this shopping trip above cost me $12.93 and I got coupons back for 3 gallons of milk for free and a $5.00 coupon to spend the next time I shop! It has been (dare I say) fun, to shop at the grocery store and kind of a rush at checkout. I am insane I know it. I also must say that it hasn't been a beeeze, and it does take time and brain power to make it work, but this web site and tons others really take out a lot of the work. .
Home is where you can be silent and still be heard. Where you can ask and find out who you are. Where people laugh with you about your self. Where sorrow is divided and joys multiplied. Where we share in love and grow..
