Couponing!

Well, back in September I was hearing a lot about how people were saving a lot of money with coupons so I decided to give it a try. I had always thought that using coupons would only save you a couple of dollars but boy was I wrong..

Since September I have spent $227.74 on $1986.92 worth of stuff. That is 88% savings. This is only at Rite Aid and is including diapers, pull-ups, wipes, toilet paper, paper towels and all other household items that we regularly use plus a lot of stuff that I wouldn't have ever bought if I had to pay full price. That is also including most of the Christmas presents we bought for people.

It's become not only a hobby but a way I can save a ton of money and bless others by giving away stuff we don't need.

I have had a lot of people ask how I do it and want me to teach them so I am going to try to start posting the deals I get and hopefully post some easy deals to do for beginners.

This is a deal that I did a couple of days ago-
Total shelf cost $67.48
Amount I paid $3.93
(94% Savings)

30 Day Blog Challenge. Failed....

Well I guess I shouldn't of started the blog challenge so close to the holiday because I have been busy, busy ,busy. I don't usually have much time on the computer because of the kids so the time I  do get I usually am checking facebook or researching deals. So once again I have failed at updating my blog regularly. But now I have a different idea....
