After a couple of months of couponing I'm finally getting it. These are some great deals I've found recentlyBest Foods Mayo-$-0.12 to $0.88
Wheat Thins $0.47 and $0.86
Triscuits $0.47
Whole Grain Ritz $0.75
Life Cereal $0.49
Lessons learned:
- find a good website that does all the work for you (I love pinchingyourpennies.com)
- hole punch coupon booklets and put them in a 3 ring binder (I have my coupon dates (the date of the paper) tabbed with sticky notes to find stuff quickly)
- only buy stuff you actually WANT to eat--turns out to be a money saver
- its fine to buy junk you only take on camping trips an picnics as long as you sneak them into the highest shelf of the storage room
- saving coupons takes time. Some great deals are from coupons printed 2 months ago
- printable coupons usually save you more money than newspaper ones
Days 1 and 2 of SPRING CLEAN
closet 1 before
after--20 minutes for cupboards and drawers. I started with the smallest projects.
Closet 2-after (we have two closets that look exactly the same. I was so excited to clean this closet out that I forgot to take a before picture. 3o minutes for cupboards and drawers. Yippee. I'm already happier opening it.
