My goal was to start using coupons more. I thought that if I could save between $10-$20 a month it would be worth it. I think I have exceeded that goal.
I joined a few blog groups that teach Coupon Cutting 101. I became a quick study on this and now I feel confident in my coupon cutting skills. I am still learning every week and I ask questions from the "professionals." Even the cashier's get a kick out out of the savings. They have taught me the most. It has become exciting and maybe a little obsessive.
So how much do you think I paid for the groceries in the above picture? First let me tell you that there is:
20 Dannon yogurts
4 cans chunky soup
8 boxes of cereal
6- 8 ct packs of pop tarts
2 gallons milk
Hot dog buns ( needed them for dinner)
So if you think I am bragging...ok. I guess I am. I am bragging about the fact that I can make more $ by using coupons then I do at my job. I am bragging that I can save enough $ to fill my vw many times over with fuel. I am bragging because I only spend 1 hr a week cutting, filing, and planning my coupons.
A couple of years ago my nephews commented that they thought we were rich because I bought boxed cereal. Well, Dallin, Hunter, Mason, Aiden, & Gavin what do you think of this? Aunt Marcy has her 3+ month food storage supply.
