Coupon Clipping!

So, one of my new hobbies is coupon clipping. A few months ago, it got to the point where we were spending SOOO much money on groceries that we just couldn't afford it. So instead of eating mac & cheese for every meal, I started to learn about coupon clipping and price matching. It is really cool so I thought I would share with everyone! You can actually buy coupons online at www.thecouponclippers.com or ebay, if you want a lot of one coupon. Then, you look through all the grocery ads that come in the mail, write down all the sale prices that are lower than what you normally pay, then when you shop tell your checker that you have price-matchs for those items and they will mark down the price for you to the sale price at any other store! I don't know if all grocery stores price match or just Wal-Mart, but it works great! I wait until the items are on sale AND I have a coupon and then I stock up. In addition to saving us tons of money, I also now have some food storage, which I didn't have before. It is also kinda fun to see how much money you can save. Oh, and there are free coupons at www.coupons.com. Okay, so here is one example, just so you can see how cool this is. This week Smith's has Pop-Tarts on sale for $1 a piece. At Wal-Mart I pay $1.87 per box. I also have a coupon for $.50 off per box, so I will be paying $.50 per box and saving $1.37 per box!!!! Amazing!
