So I am on a complete coupon high right now. Thanks to my good friend Claire and Amy, the Savvy Shopper, I saved $159 on my shopping trip tonight. It was amazing and I had to tell someone immediately. My groceries rung up to $240 and then after all my coupons and discounts were scanned in, the grand total was $81 and that will get me through to the end of the month. I think I can handle that. :) Last time, I made Claire go with me and she helped me get the total down from $111 to $43. Pretty cool. It only takes me about an hour to cut all the coupons on sunday and then maybe 1/2 hour before each shopping trip to prepare. I used to hate grocery shopping, but now...it's a pleasure! I love handing the cashier my stack of coupons and see the money come off. Such a good time. I can't wait till I get better at it. I'm going to have to start planning my vacation now with all the money I'll be saving. Gotta love it.

ReplyDeleteDo you still feel this way about couponing? If so I need your secrets. I tried it for six months and hated EVERY second of it. It is WAY too hard and I could only get foods I didn't want. Teach me!!
