I love to be frugal when it comes to shopping. My husband says I am the most frugal person he knows. Lately, I’ve showed him how to become even more frugal than he ever thought possible. This has all been with the help of coupons.
I am very new to couponing. I’ve always used coupons, but only one or two here and there. Lately I’ve become coupon crazy. My husband just laughs at me and says he will never use any coupons. Although he does tell me he’s very happy with all the money I’ve been saving us over the past month. I’ve been having so much fun clipping coupons and seeing how much I can save, and in many cases I’ve even made some money.
We got some killer deals in one week at Walgreens, Rite Aid, Fred Meyer, and Target. We got a total of 64 items. Everything pictured plus two gallons of milk and two magazine subscriptions, although I could have gotten four magazine subscriptions. The total of everything came to $289.90. After, coupons, rebates, and register rewards we spent a grand total of $10.57. That is a savings of $279.33. I couldn’t believe all the great deals I got and now I have enough Chex Mix and shampoo to share with family and friends.
If I can save this much money anyone can. It’s so easy all you have to do is be willing to clip coupons, match them up with weekly ads, and have fun shopping. Being frugal has become a way of life for me. Every penny saved is a penny earned.
It’s so much fun to see how much money I can save each week, I can hardly wait till the next week to see what’s on sale. I love it when I can get items for free, cheap, or be paid to take them out of the store. Does anyone else have a great shopping trip they’d love to share?
I am a mom to two very energetic boys, a two year old and a three month old. I love being a mother and my kids are my inspiration for everything I do. I love to sew, cook, create things, but most of all enjoy life. You can visit Jamie at Cool Crafty Mom
