My dad has it, my sisters all have it, my brother has it, my mom’s been touched by it and I feel the coupon fever coming on.
I went to Publix (grocery store) today; my total bill came to $141.85 and I spent only $46.97 (I saved $94.88 – almost 70% off my grocery bill)!!! I am not one to use coupons just for the sake of using coupons, but let me just give you a quick synopsis of what I got: eggs, cake flour, Jello, frozen veggies, 10 boxes of Chex cereal, batteries, shredded cheese, canned pineapples, cream cheese, butter, ice cream and so much more.
What a rush! My sister, Cassidie, found the most amazing site: www.southernsavers.com that tells you exactly how to get the best deals, even so much as showing you which coupons are out there and how to maximize your savings, like I never knew you could use a store coupon plus a manufacturers coupon which will make things a lot of times free. I will tell you it still takes time (probably because I’m just getting started and don’t have a full system in swing), but being able to save so much money and put things away for my food storage makes it totally worth it! At least that’s what I kept telling myself as I was trying to concentrate and in the meantime Madeleine had: gotten into my makeup for the 3rd time this week (I keep out of reach, but she is determined and I might add, she’s getting pretty good at applying her lipstick for a 2 year old), ripped the pages out of one of her books, got into my dental floss and pulled it all out, got into the dvds and scattered them all throughout the house, found some way to make it look like a tornado has hit just about every room, and still found time to find a pen and color all over my pillows – did I mention she was 2?
