Trying It Out

I decided to start a new blog where I can share some of my coupon savings. This is mainly for me, because it's fun to keep track of the savings. But if I'm able to keep up with it, I may try adding tips & shopping lists, etc. So maybe check back and see...

I have had many people ask me how I manage to regularly save 75% or more off my grocery bill. Combining coupons with sales + knowing what your store's policies are is the first step.
