Saving money...
Since I have been back from Florida I have been trying to do this coupon thing. it's taken a couple of week to get the hang of it. But with some persistence and help from my friend Diane. I am doing good. This week I went shopping, it's now kind of a chalenge to see how much I can get for free. I have to go to different places and clip a lot coupons. But SOOOO worth it. I am lucky now that my sister is here so she stayed with the kids in the car while I ran inside and grabed a couple of things from each store. But we don't have a publix very close, but we do have Krogers. They also have Ecoupons. you go to the site choose the coupons you want and it goes straight to my card, than I can use a paper coupon as well. So I went to Kroger on tuesday and my bill came out to $125.00 dollars, after I scaned my card and gave him my 50 coupons I paid $45.37, I am so excited and I get home and tell Borja how much everything costed and what I got for free. I don't think he is as excited as I am. Maybe he will be a little more after Fathers day when he gets his present with the money I saved from groceries... Thank you Diane.

wow you did great!! I've been doing this too. It's so much more work but SO worth it!! I felt really dumb the first time I took a huge stack of coupons and a bunch of store ads for price matches to wal-mart, but when I saw how much I saved I was like, who cares! this is great!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Vanessa! I'm glad everything worked out and you saved so much money! Isn't it exciting? Matt wasn't as excited as I was either, until I sent him to the store when I was out of town and now he gets why I'm so into couponing! He thinks it's awesome! If you have any more questions call anytime! Glad I could help! Tell your mom she is welcome to come to our enrichment on the 18, it's all about couponing!
