OK, so I'm really really trying to become a "couponer"...you know, those ladies in the grocery store w/a baskcart of food and paying like $5 for it? Yeah, one of those! The best I've done is save about $70 off my grocery bill at Kroger for using coupons and my Kroger Plus card. I still spent about $100 total though. I have gotten a few free things here and there, but I'm really going to test my skills this week and see how I do! My goal is to keep my grocery bill under $100. I usually grocery shop about every 2 weeks! I haven't been in longer than 2 weeks, so this may be dificult...but I'm gonna try! I have all my coupons cut, and will print some additional ones tonight. I'm going to start using my blog to tell people if I find any specially good deals, so check back w/me!
A super great deal I got last weekend: I bought 2 Baby Einstein dvds for $2.50 a piece, and 2 Brainy Baby dvds for $3.00 a piece! So far, Peyton really likes them! Here's the trick: whenever Baby's R US is having a BOGO on their dvds, find internet coupons to print out, and there ya go! (EX: I had 2 $5 off coupons for the Baby Einstein dvds. No coupons for Brainy Baby, they were already clearanced out and still qualified for the BOGO)
Okay. You need to set up a couponing 101 class for your friends!! I so want to know and understand how to do that ... how to organize your coupons to make it go smoothly and "quick", if that could happen!
