At first I wasn't sure if it was worth the subscription fee, but that it more than paid for itself in the first week! It works out to be about $1.75 a week...less than a paper costs now! And someone does all the hard work (matching up the coupons to sales) for you! <br />Couponing is my hobby now and it SAVES me money instead of costing me money :)Precision Quality Laserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304034383943750446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-68174691435081695402010-01-10T21:42:10.241-05:002010-01-10T21:42:10.241-05:00Hey... Malia's friend here!
Like you, I thoug...Hey... Malia's friend here!<br /><br />Like you, I thought coupon ladies were a little extreme, but trying to shop for my family of 9 was becoming unbelievable! So, in the fall of 2008, I took the plunge, signed up for the grocery game to start things off, and away I went!<br /><br />What amazed me in the beginning.. and still does, actually.. is how much you can get for free (or very little). To see my pantry fill up... and to be able to give to others... and still have more than enough to feed my family well.<br /><br />Now, if only we could get all the "binder ladies" here in our area to SMILE as they shop! Seriously, I have been scowled at by more women who are couponing (like I do). It's not a competition, y'all! There's still plenty for everyone!Ouizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08377634340650234707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-67649164413422870912010-01-06T23:05:40.730-05:002010-01-06T23:05:40.730-05:00We sure got it going on now don't we? My best...We sure got it going on now don't we? My best has been 2.84 and saved 38.00 at CVS. I keep trying to get it down further and further. Even found organic chicken marked down to half price at Ingles this past week. I'm waiting for some coupons to arrive in the mail to hit publix this week. Right now we're at 108 for the week and savings of 88. If I can make it to the 8th without spending any more it'll be a good week. Plus the fact that my husband went to the store without a single coupon and spent 30.00. It killed me I'm telling ya!!!<br />www.homeschoolblogger.com/juliestew<br />JulieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04879443227227611414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-84562203761904989442010-01-06T23:01:22.440-05:002010-01-06T23:01:22.440-05:00Whoot whoot!!

Like your mom, I am SO proud of you. :) Seriously, you are a total testimonial to the fact..it can be done and it can be fun if you treat it like a game. And for those who don't yet understand, that's ok....we can laugh....all the way to the bank. :)Jen - Balancing Beauty and Bedlamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09152743288585898776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-36514669600904355602010-01-06T20:37:26.459-05:002010-01-06T20:37:26.459-05:00Wow Scooper! you make couponing seem enjoyable.

I certainly need another method of saving on groceries.<br />Thanks for the great links, too.<br />Happy New Year!<br />Peace.Lynne in NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062796052551511879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-31871747770552186422010-01-06T14:30:57.725-05:002010-01-06T14:30:57.725-05:00I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

I also stick to one store (Harris Teeter, which I think you said you don't have). Everyone always says it's so expensive. But I barely spend $25 a week there. I also use Costco, unless I can beat the price at HT with sales and coupons. Our grocery budget is also about $300 for our family of 5. I am living it with you! I come home with so many groceries for so little money... I call it "Groceries from God"!!! He is SO good! Blessings!Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453550769150945432noreply@blogger.com
