Target/WalMart Trip: Paid $40.21 for $180.37 worth of items
Here's the breakdown of the shopping trip my mom and I made for our families yesterday. It was awesome! I've broken it up into multiple photos because it was such a huge haul.
We have only been doing this a few weeks, and if you're a beginner I'd like to encourage you. I know it can seem overwhelming at first, but not for long! For a few days or weeks, take some time that you would normally spend just doinking around on facebook, watching TV, whatever, and use it to educate yourself! Read couponing blogs, forums, facebook pages, and watch YouTube videos. Familiarize yourself with the coupon and ad match policies of the stores in your area, and always carry printed copies of them! I often recommend some of my favorite couponing resources to my facebook followers. If you've missed it, just drop by there and ask and I'll be happy to share them again.
It will be some work up front but once you know it, you'll always be able to use it! You will get better and faster as time goes on. Are we able to save money on *everything* that we buy? Nope! We still have to buy lots of fresh foods and just hope for good sales or occasional coupons on those. If there are no sales and we need to buy it anyway, we still buy it. But you know what? The more we save on other items, the more money can be in the budget for healthy foods, bills, fun, etc.!
