So its a new year, a new beginning, a fresh start. It’s exciting! A few posts back I had blogged about a new interest of mine that I have now become so passionate about. That is becoming coupon savy on everything and anything you spend hard-earned money. I am happy to report that out of the past three months I began this mission, I have totaled a savings of $400, yes you read correct. The first month was about $60, seeing this only motivated me to keep it up. Here are some tips that can help with your grocery bill.
-Buy your Sunday paper and plan your meals according to the coupons provided.
-Take advantage of the in-store coupons (coupons at my grocery store are available as you enter the store).
-surf the web for the most used products and print those coupons.
-At the time of purchase kindly inquire if there are coupons available that may be applied (6 times out of 10 there will be). A simple question could possibly save you a couple of dollars, very worth-it!
-compare, compare, and compare to all grocery stores (you will be amazed how much you can save like this)
If you think coupons end at the grocery store, guess again my friend. Everywhere I shop, whether it be for clothes, hair products, hygiene products, portraits, shoes, restaurants, etc., you better believe I’ve done my research and printed out a coupon or received it in the mail. I already had my boys Christmas outfits in the month of November because I received a coupon for an exclusive childrens clothing store and took advantage of the newly stocked holiday attire. I saved a total of $20 at the end of my purchase. For our recent family portrait, I only paid $23 because of a coupon that was emailed to me. I could go on and on, but I’m sure you get my point. My rule of thumb goes as follows, “NEVER AGAIN WILL I EVER SHOP FOR ANYTHING WITHOUT A COUPON OR SALE OF SOME SORT!” It is truly exciting and rewarding to see your hard-earned dollar stretched.
Wishing you and yours a prosperous and frugal year

I am always afraid when I leave CVS that they are going to pick me up for stealing. Yikes. Another tip I would add is to find out seasonal sales and, dare I say, Horde coupons for that item. I just got 24 months worth of dishwasher soap, paid less than $20 for all of them when I combined my coupons and CVS Extra Bucks. Also, looking very forward to Super Bowl week. Salsa goes on sale and I have 25 coupons for a $1/1 we’ll be making room for salsa in the pantry. I also got a bunch of Wholly Guac for free. LOVE it.
Do you have a mini panic attack when you see a sale on something, and you know that a coupon exists for it, and yet you don’t have it?

LOL about the mini-panic attack…yes I do tend to freak out! I often feel guilty if that happens..silly, right? Good tips by the way
