I am a stay-at-home mom, so I was thinking about ways that I could contribute to this money saving idea! I searched the interet and found The Krazy Coupon Lady! I have seen Extreme Couponing and I am in awe of these people who are getting so much for so little. I am not an Extreme Couponer by any means, but I thought that I could just be a couponer and see if it made a difference. What is nice about The Krazy Coupon Lady website is that they do a lot of the work for you! They tell you great deals that are out there and then tell you how to get the coupons! So, I started doing my research, and I have been buying my Sunday paper to get the coupon inserts. It really does make a difference! On Sunday afternoon/night I sat down and figured out my menu for the week and the different items we needed. I then went through my coupons to see what I could save. Here is a sample:
CVS:
Tide 40 oz $5.97
used a $1.00 off mf coupon from pg
$4.97
Dawn 9oz Dish Soap .97
used a .25 off mf coupon
.72
4 Nivea Creme .99
$3.96
Recieved $2.00 extra bucks for each one
Spent $10.48
$8.00 extra bucks
Total: 2.48
This was my first try couponing, and I don't think that I did too bad! I will keep you updated as I learn and shop more!
