Me couponing?? YUP!

Earlier this year I heard of a new show called Extreme Couponing. I was intrigued so I checked it out. I had tried coupons before but they never saved me much so I stopped using them. However, I decided I would give it another shot. After watching and seeing how these women did it I wanted to give it a try. The first Sunday morning came so I went to get my first paper, I was so excited. I picked it up brought it home and picked through it to find the coupons. They were not there. What was going on? It wasn’t until the next day I saw a friends post on facebook about how coupons are not in the paper on holiday weekends. Not off to a good start, maybe couponing and I were not meant to be.

The following Sunday comes along and I went to get a paper and cut the coupons. I took them along with my detailed grocery list and Kroger card to go couponing. I ended up saving $23.00 my first trip. I was so excited I had to do it again, it was such a thrill. More coupon clipping and list making and in two weeks back I went. This time I saved $25.00. YAY I’m so proud. In a month I save almost $50.00. I figure everyone has to start somewhere. I’m so encouraged by the women that go and purchase $1500.00 worth of groceries and walk out spending $4.61. I’m happy to say that I will keep up the couponing and growing my baby stock pile.
