Kari G. got me hooked on the coupon bug. I know, I know, coupons? Yea, I don't even like the thought of newspaper everywhere, clipping coupons, etc. But when Kari told me she could feed her family of 6 for around $200 per MONTH, I was like WHAT? If I can save money and use it somewhere else, I will. Why not put that extra couple hundred towards our Bahama vacation or my Roth IRA. Shoot, why would I pay full price when others are getting it for more than half off. That'd be stupid right?
Well, I ordered my multiple Sunday newspapers from my neighbor Nancy, went to Kari's and learned the tricks of the trade. My first week I went shopping at Walgreens, Smith's, and Albertson's. My total was $194. Well, I only paid $64!!! And everything is name brand stuff. We got so much for so little. For example, I went to Albertson's and my bill came out to $70. I only paid $9! Here's a picture of the stuff I bought at Albertsons.
If you live in Utah you have to use this system. If I can do it, so can you. Use the extra cash to fund your retirement, splurge on that special gift, or donate it to a worthy cause. Two of the websites I use are www.pinchingyourpennies.com and the other is www.grocerysmarts.com (use code G84CTB). Call me if you need help, but there are videos on youtube discussing how to work this system. Don't worry. It's pretty much free except for having to have newspaper. Good Luck!
