Coupon Craze: Another Family Event

Obviously, as we've couponed we've collect quite a stock of different 

frozen and non-perishable foods, as well as household items.

Now that we've compiled so much food there is 

less of a pressing need to actually go to the stores. 

Of course, we buy our fresh foods; milk, eggs, produce, etc...,

but the weekly cost is cut down to somewhere between $20 and $40.

Having stock in our home has made it possible to begin focusing 

more on items relevant to our family that will be on SUPER sale for us.

Often free and even better -ending our balance with a credit

to be applied to anything we owe from other items that were not free! 

I saw a woman on the Extreme Couponing program

who said it was really like a video game for her,

compiling a list with stacking coupons to save the most.

I couldn't agree more.

The following coupon trip was from a week ago. 

Greg and Zeek joined me, and we doubled our check out

by each adult making their own transaction.

Here's how we did!

Total cost before coupons and discounts:    $230.17

Total bill after coupons and discounts:      -   108.31

A savings of:                                            121.80

That's a 53% savings!!!

We've long lost track of how much we've saved in couponing 

over the past two months.

All we know is that we have A LOT of food

and it all cost somewhere around 50% or less of its original cost.

Couponing has also enabled us to put away money in savings

like never before, with no sacrificing or going without!

It's so fulfilling not to mention fun! :)
