March Savings a Success!!

This month I saved every receipt I had on my purchases, at the end of the month I wanted to be able to review my spending and see if I had really saved w/my coupons. I must say I am very pleased, this month I was able to stock pile deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo & conditioner, razors, paper towels, toilet paper and laundry detergent. I have so much of the above items that I will probably not have to buy them for MANY months!! Here's the final count:

OOP: $357.04
Saved: $527.22

I spent about $90.00 per week on groceries, health & beauty, paper goods, my lunches for work and even Easter candy is included!! For my first full month of really digging in my heals and doing this I'd say I did pretty great:-) So yes it is possible to save 50% on your grocery bill, and yes it was worth my time and effort to save that 50%...stay tuned for April, I hope I can do even better.

And another example...

Tonight I stopped by Homeland to take advantage of their buy 5 boxes of ceral for $12.00 and get $5.00 off instantly. So I grab my coupons and this is what it looked like:

$12.00 for 5 boxes of Kellogs cereal
- $5.00 instantly
-$1.50 Q
-$1.00 Q doubled
=$4.04

this deal gets sweeter because when you buy 5 boxes of cereal you get a Catalina for 2 one gallon milks!! So technically I got 5 boxes of cereal and 2 gallons of milk for $4.04 that's $.56 for each item!! Am I making anybody into a believer yet??

And here we go...

Hi there my friends and family. As many of you know I have created this blog to be a centralized place that I can post weekly coupon deals, store deals or internet deals that I think are share worthy. Please be patient with me as this is a new experience for me and I am sure to stink it up a time or two. I am so excited about what the Lord has for me during this experience. He is already giving me visions of ministry opportunities but has yet to give me the full picture! Ha, can't imagine why he wouldn't, can you say RUN!! I am thankful for you my friends and family as I know that he will use you too to accomplish his will thru this. But, before that begins let me share with you what I have learned this far...

I have been at this for 8-10weeks now. Yes it takes some time to clip and organize my coupons. However, the pay off is the best!! I have yet to make a planned trip to the store and not saved over 50% off my total bill. And sometimes the manufacturer pays me to buy their product, whoohoo!! I understand this is not for everyone, however, I do know that it could be valuable info for the single parent, the family that has just lost an income, or the family wanting to save for their dream vacation. So keep an open mind and give it a try, what do you have to lose?

Much Love,
S
