Several of our church friends are into "couponing." Lew and I haven't traditionally used a lot of coupons, because neither of us really bothered to take the time to gather them. But when I heard my friends talk about how much money they save, well....
So, I saved the coupons from the last three Sunday newspapers. This morning I went through them all and clipped only the coupons I know that we will use. (The rest I'm going to give to one of the gals at church.) There are also a couple Facebook pages about couponing that I "Like" -- I've gotten some really good coupons through those, too.
I'm looking at the store flyers to see what's on sale that week. I'll glance through all of the flyers, but I'm going to concentrate on our grocery store and our drugstore. If something's on sale and I have a coupon, that's a good time to buy it. Lew and I are going to try to plan our shopping in order to take advantage of the best prices.
We just got home from our weekly shopping trip. We saved $28.54 by buying stuff on sale and/or using coupons. Not bad for rookies!
