I have been watching TLC's Extreme-Couponing and am totally fascinated by how people can save so much money on groceries. It is amazing to me how many items these shoppers can stock up on and get basically for free. Many years ago, when 2 of my kids were just toddlers I was quite the "Couponer" However, I slacked off as my family grew. A couple of months ago I decided I needed to get back into clipping my coupons. The first time the Coach & I went shopping, it was a nightmare. It took over 2 hours because I had all my coupons divided into separate envelopes. Thankfully, I spent an entire night with my sister-in-law & she helped me get a binder, labeled dividers & some sports card inserts. But guess what? It still isn't easy. In fact my family GROANS when I ask them to help me clip, sort & stuff my binder. Also we don't have double or triple coupons here so there is no chance I will be featured on TLC's extreme-couponing. What I do know is that clipping coupons can save you a lot of money if you are willing to the do work. In today's economy it is totally worth it. Listed below are a few of my grocery trip savings:
- Spent $170 saved $83 ( my first time. In my defense we had my nephews over & they love snacks!)
- Spent $80 saved $58
- Spent $121 saved $70 (this included 3 prescriptions)
- Spent $73 saved $63
- Spent $22 saved $27
It is my hope that as I continue to learn more about coupons that I will get better at saving money on my groceries. For now I'll just take it one day, one coupon at a time.
