I am not great at it yet, but I am getting there! Today, I went to Dillons and saved $33.74! I walked away with all this for only $69.59!
I am pretty impressed with myself, but a little annoyed at myself for not starting this sooner!!! Why did we wait to start saving money until we were desperate to...you know so I could stay home?! Very frustrating, but I guess better late than never! But kind of sad to think of the stuff we could have had paid off or saved, IF we would had started sooner!
I will say this isn't easy to do, it takes time and plenty of thought...but if you just start out slow, you can do it too!
Here's to happy shopping!
I make it a game...and I too am always SO excited about how much I save at the grocery store. I never used coupons are paid attention to sales until I quit my job to stay home too. Good luck and clip those coupons. Here's a great site where you can find all the best printable grocery coupons online. http://www.ehow.com/how_4712299_grocery-coupons-online.html

Sarah and Lawrence shop at Aldi's and they save lots by taking their own bags (they have to), etc. They can't always get everything they need - but most things and lots cheaper. I have a gift for your babies if I ever get around to getting it to you.
