Couponing

I love saving money. Who doesn't? Over the past year I have totally changed the way I use coupons. I have always used coupons, but now I am an extreme couponer. I used to only buy what I needed for the next two weeks, now I stockpile groceries and household items.

Here are a few examples of why I love couponing.

I got all the above groceries, plus an unpictured bag of 50lbs. dog food, at Publix and Kroger. I paid $30.12.

These are from Publix, Kroger and CVS. I paid $11.96 for all this and I got $27 in ECB to spend on my next trip to CVS.

Last night I bought 20 (12oz.) bags of frozen veggies, 2 tubes mascara, 6 ramen type noodles, 2 boxes of Smart Balance Butter sticks, 2 YoPlus yogurt 4 packs, 3 cans Publix cream of mushroom soup, small jar of pickle spears, Ritz crackers and Crackerful Crackers. I paid $3.07. Half of that was tax.

Check out my favorite sites for couponing!

Southern Savers - Jenny's site is very organized and tells you exactly what coupons to use. And you can print your shopping list directly from her site!

I Heart Publix - this site gives weekly deals just like Southern Savers, but she often adds unadvertised deals that she finds in the store.

Coupon Mom - I use this site to search for unadvertised deals as well.

Money Saving Mom - Crystal has lots of great deals as well as inspiring posts on being frugal.
