first week of coupon clipping!

Hello readers,
A few weeks ago I saw a new show on TLC. Its called Extreme Couponing! I was so amazed by the people on this show. They could go to the grocery store and get $600 worth of groceries for $8! One guy even got $5700 worth of food for under $250! Awesome, right!? So that started me thinking. I don't really need to get $5700 or even $600 worth of groceries in a month. But it would be nice to save at least 50% on our monthly grocery bill. We have tried other tricks to save money on groceries; buy generic, buy at Walmart, and just to cut items out of our spending. I didn't even know you could save that much money with coupons. So after searching the internet for hours lol I found a website run by one of the ladies on the tlc show. They call her the Krazy Coupon Lady! Check her website out at WWW.thekrazycouponlady.com. It is full of great stuff to help you get started. She also wrote a book. I just got it in the mail so when I finish reading it ill let you know how it is. So far it is awesome! On her website she matches coupons with sales going on at each store so you can get the best deal. So far this week, I am going to get 16 free yoplait yogurts, .50 canned pineapple, .30 Duncan hines brownie mix, .20 bag mashed potatoes, .13 sour cream, .66 kraft shredded cheese, and free Campbells soup! I am going to buy all this at publix on Friday.

In order to start couponing, I have for getting at least 2 Sunday papers to clip coupons from. Then I do some research online to find good deals. You can also print a lot of good coupons. The down side to that is usually you can only print two of each coupon. I think I'm off to a good start. My next goal will be to get a coupon binder started and organize my coupons! I guess ill go for now. Thanks for reading!
