Couponing

So, I don't know if anyone noticed or cared, but I took a little break from blogging for a while there in Feb. I had a new little hobby that I started in January. Saving $ at the grocery store...
From Misc.

So the trip above was this week, I spent $36, but saved $55!
Chris poked fun at me for a while there, and I do look a little crazy when I come home with 4 newspapers on Sunday... haha. But he's since embraced it. He even got me a Couponizer for my birthday in Feb! I love it!!
I've also gotten others to join and save - April, Morgan, Erin, Sara, Kelly and my friend Jill from small group!
It's really not hard, just takes some time to start up and be good about making a list and sticking to it!! What's great is also getting diapers for cheap!!
Check out the beginner's guide and website of southernsavers.com and couponkatie.com. Good luck!
