Okay, so this is my new thing. Couponing. I've dabbled in it a little, and I really like how things are going. So now it's time to turn it up. Just as an example, we all have colds right now. So what I would usually do is run to the drugstore and buy cold medicine at Full price, tissues, and some Airborne or Emergan-C to help us kick it quickly. Cold relief runs me about $15 or the kids (name brand) and $12 for me and Tim (store brand). Tissues $1and I may pass on the Airborne if I'm already having a heart attack over the cost of the medicine.
Last month with my couponing, I picked up medicine for the kids AND us for about 20. Four boxes for them, four for us. Plus a three pack boxes of tissues. So when this hit, I was ready. I just have the sneezes, so I haven't used the cold meds yet. But it's all there, and I didn't pay full price.
Tomorrow I am all set for my shopping trip. I am taking a $50 bill and we will see if I can only spend that much and what I end up getting. It's like a game! And my friends know how competitive I am!
My goal for the month of January is to spend no more than $210 a week in groceries. That is 30$ per day!
Tim thinks is retarded. He hates the coupon clipping and sorting. But he's enjoying his cold meds!
Brianna loves the couponing. One week the total came to 58$ and after coupons it was $21. She thinks it's magic!
