Your Total Is...


"Alright, your total is $111.83, do you have any coupons?"
"Yes, I do. Quite a few!"
"Ok. (long pause) Your new total is... 34 cents."

That's what every woman dreams of hearing when they walk up to the cash register! Up until a few years ago, I had no idea that couponing would work for us until a dear friend simply asked me to give it a try. "There's no way I can afford couponing" I thought. I knew that coupons were for name brand items that I didn't have the money for... I was one of many store brand shopper. Now, I can't tell you the last time I bought a store brand toiletry item.

In a nut shell, couponing will change your life. I am of the belief that couponing is something everyone deserves to know. Saving 80% on our family's grocery bill was out of our minds til I realized that there was simply a system to learn and that system was couponing.

  2. Mostly from the Sunday paper: the Red Plum, Smart Source, and P&G. I get some online, but you're only allowed to print 2 coupons per computer you have (and I only have 1).
