I just dont know where to look for lots of coupons other than the sunday newspaper...any ideas?? Sometimes the coupons are buy two get one free, and for me I dont want to spend over a certain amount each week. I think there are pros and cons. When I go grocery shopping I tend to stick to the produce that is on sale that week. BUt if you can give me places to look for coupons I would be thrilled!! I LOVE saving money!! <BR/><BR/>When I was little my mom would go through the coupons and put a little stamp on the ones she would use and then my sister and i would cut them out. It was our little "chore" and it helped us with using scissors!! Just an idea for your boys!Alicia @ refinedisaiah648.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750307795198616964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28951865.post-85660619367072147482009-01-21T09:46:00.000-06:002009-01-21T09:46:00.000-06:00i'm thinking about jumping on the coupon band wago...i'm thinking about jumping on the coupon band wagon myself, but don't really know where to start....i'll be checking back to see how you do!! ;)jo@blog-diggidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822441920980608824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28951865.post-59085533873969048022009-01-21T09:41:00.000-06:002009-01-21T09:41:00.000-06:00I am working on the coupon thing myself - but I ha...I am working on the coupon thing myself - but I have yet to see the BIG savings. We live in a small town with a CVS, Brookshires and a Davids Supermarket (that is NOT clean!) I mainly shop at the Brookshires. I have figured out their rotation on sale items and I have stocked my freezer with meats - I like to cook dinner for my family and we are the meat and tater kind of family. It only takes me about an hour to get the coupons figured and the list made. I have had better luck saving at CVS. The nearest Kroger is 22 miles!! I know I could save more there - but you figure gas and time it can actually cost MORE. I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out for you. maybe you can help me!<BR/>Amy QReflections in My Mirrorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06931739714029862551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28951865.post-47111907847389916462009-01-21T09:36:00.000-06:002009-01-21T09:36:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28951865.post-13308296378887741242009-01-21T01:04:00.000-06:002009-01-21T01:04:00.000-06:00Catherine - I see your point.

I wasn't offended. but after your blog (I've encountered your points before from others) and reading the comments of others, I decided that I did, for myself, want to look at it and make sure that it isn't some fluke...that it is worth my time. If I do well, maybe you can come out, the boys can play and I'll talk to you more. :)<BR/><BR/>B - you are right about the Obama thing....that's why I put the link so others could see what I was talking about.~LL~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08063070514324926522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28951865.post-7772074766419825022009-01-20T22:48:00.000-06:002009-01-20T22:48:00.000-06:00You go!

Obviously! ha! : )<BR/><BR/>Really, if you do stay caught up (like do it each week and it only take a few minutes!) and if you have a good system down-or if you cheat and have someone else do it FOR you (I use pinchingyourpennies.com), it can be great! <BR/>My favorite days are walking out of the grocery store with two carts overflowing, spending less than $100, and the cashier calling people over to see how little I actually spent. Makes me all warm inside! :P <BR/><BR/>And no, it's not hording, it's PREPARING, just in case. How many storms have you been through when you can't get to the store for however long? Nice to know you have enough to live on and not be relying on getting to the store every few days to have enough to feed your family!<BR/><BR/>Shutting up now..... : )Cateyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04313815726428345524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28951865.post-32149951569522771952009-01-20T22:37:00.000-06:002009-01-20T22:37:00.000-06:00i can't chime in on all this coupon fun.

For about the past 10 years, I've gotten pretty much all my food from CSAs and food co-ops. everything is way cheaper...no need for coupons! <BR/><BR/>But, I did want to point out that the "free" tuition on Obama's education platform is community service based, and unrelated to family income or perceived financial need. It's not a new idea. There are several programs like this that are already in existence and thriving! Teach for America, AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, serving as a teacher in under-served school districts. In 2007, a public service loan forgiveness program was introduced that allows for extended income-sensitive payment plans for public service workers and completely erases remaining student loan debt after 10 years in a public service job! I will personally benefit from that, but can't give Obama credit. yay! --bAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28951865.post-25656346627845870492009-01-20T21:55:00.000-06:002009-01-20T21:55:00.000-06:00I think you took my blog too personally.

I am just not seeing it for me. I have asked for help but only get a one or two sentence answer from people. For the record, I buy lots of generic items because they are just as good as name brand. I have had other friends that tried their hand at couponing and they said, they found it just as easy to buy generic. I have no idea, so that is why I was trying the couponing. I wasn't accusing you of buying bad food. I just said, that is what I am getting coupons for. Anyway, sorry if my blog offended you.LRFKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947161983930572882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28951865.post-79902404714313719052009-01-20T21:08:00.000-06:002009-01-20T21:08:00.000-06:00Yea, I say good luck.

I too love lots of fruit and veggies and healthy foods, and couponing is possible.

She does double coupons and shops a couple of different stores. Here's my problem - I don't have time to shop more than 1 store (I have a chronic illness), there are very few items I buy with coupons, and the two stores where I buy groceries don't do double coupons. I am, though, going to read your experiment with interest. I'd like to see how much you save and how you make it work.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977860195847730169noreply@blogger.com
