I am a coupon user now...

I have never used coupons before yesterday... I don't know why I haven't. I have been clipping coupons for 2 weeks now, and we went to Bi-Lo yesterday. I was shocked how much I saved. If I knew I would save that much, I would have been doing it a long time ago. Everything that went in the buggy I pretty much had a coupon for. It was hard trying to find coupons and fighting with Rylan. He could not make up his mind where he wanted to set in the buggy. We got our grocery's we went to check out. We had a full buggy. I had spent 140 dollars before coupons, and after coupons and tax I only spent 111 dollars. I was ticked pink. Couldn't believe I saved that much.

Where's The Money?

I didn't realize how much money it took just to go to work, and keep life running. Since I have been home we are able to save so much money. I don't have to spend over one hundred dollars a month to drive to smithville, and I don't have to have twenty to thirty dollars for lunch a week... I am starting to learn how to be frugal with our money. I am starting to collect coupons which I have never done until now.. The way I look at it, is how bad do I want to be able to stay home with my children? I will do anything for them. They need me and I need them. It looks like I probably won't be able to go back to work, cause I am still on bedrest. But, I think everything happens for a reason. I am so excited about being able to stay home this summer with Rylan. Does anyone have any ideas about being frugal? How do you pinch every penny?
