Coupons

Every year during the holidays, my coupon shopping slows down.

It's time to get clipping again.

I took this stack

and organized it in here

and even went to the store last night at 10:20p.m. to use some of them.

In case you were wondering, I got

18 boxes of General Mills cereal

8 boxes of Nature Valley granola bars

16 cans of Progresso soup

and 8 Toaster Strudel.

That's 55 items for $54!

Organized Savings

I have been slacking on my couponing lately

so I decided to make a change.

I went back to the file folder method of organizing coupons for a while.

I had a binder and a big bin of coupons

and now I have an organized file box.

Time to go shopping!

Sorting, Cutting, and Filing

Spent some time today getting caught up on one of my favorite hobbies;).

I've been neglecting my coupons since summer began,

but need to get back into the groove because I hate paying full price for anything!

Now I need to go shopping!

Coupon Shopping

I was cleaning out the expired coupons yesterday and found a bunch 

that I needed to use before the end of March.

I went to WalMart for a little coupon fun!

I bought 1 bottle of Olay body wash,

1 bottle of Olay facial cleanser,

4 Old Spice deodorants,

4 bottles of Olay body wash,

6 bottles of Bayer aspirin,

2 packages of Snyder's pretzels,

1 box of Kashi GoLean cereal,

and 8 Zone bars.

My total before coupons was $63.77

and after coupons it was $28.50!

Less than half price...that's my goal when using coupons!

You never know how the folks behind you in line are going to react to a huge stack of coupons.

The best part of the trip had to be the two 20-something-year-old men 

behind me who were totally impressed!

They even asked where I got all the coupons and if they make coupons for what they were buying.

Cute boys!

The Coupon Binder

On Sunday, I was asked to be on the Provident Living Committee at church.

I taught at a workshop a year ago about saving money with coupons.

They are going to start a website/blog to post information for our stake on.

They want me to post deals that I find that others might be interested. 

I've gotten behind on my coupons since I started this blog.

Today's something started like this...

 Then this...

 Then this...

 And finally, this...

I got all caught up today so I can start finding deals for my neighbors.
