I've joined the coupon craze

Several weeks ago my sister Crystal invited me to a coupon class that was being held at her Church. I have seen how well other people do with using coupons when shopping and really wanted to learn how to save money while shopping. Since taking this class, I have saved more money than I have ever saved in the past while using the coupons.




I didn't realize how easy this was going to be. At first I was nervous about getting started with it, but once I got started I wondered why I waited so long to join in with the coupon craze. I am so thankful that I did. I don't have my receipts right here with me, I will do another post later to share my savings with you. If you don't already use coupons, I encourage you to give it a try, you'll be surprised at how much you can save.

  1. I'm so excited for you! I know how much you've saved and it's a little ridiculous (in a good way!) Thannk you for being the "Coupon Nazi" and finally encouraging me to get on board. I can't wait to go to the grocery store next week and see how much better I can do!!

  2. I just started couponing recently too. I am hooked! It's a little bit compulsive, this saving money, but doesn't it feel good?!

  4. I dont spend as much time as some people at it (the girl I took the class from says she spends about 3 hours every night on it, which is just way too much for me!)-- but I have cut our household/grocery expenses by AT LEAST $25.00 each week!!! It's crazy at how much money you can save when you know the tricks! :)
