My Grand total this week was

I went over a little bit this week, but I had more than $14 left over from last week so I think I am good. ;-)
I'm BACK! And Cheaper than ever!
My life has recently changed quite a bit. We were living in Germany, we had been there almost 3 years, and were fortunate enough to be able to come back to Georgia! I was almost 6 months pregnant when we moved with our 5th child.
A huge thing about being back in the states is that I can get back into coupon-ing! And I have to tell you that this is so majorly exciting for me because I am a frugal person. I'm cheap. I am always looking for a deal. In Europe that is so much harder to do. It is really just not feasible.
I have totally immersed myself into re-learning everything there is to know about couponing and doing the drug store sales. It is really amazing how much money you can save if you are willing to put in some effort! In Germany we were probably spending at least $800-1000 per month on groceries. Right now I am spending $100 each week for our family of 7.
Now, I don't just buy what we are going to eat that week...we don't eat that way at our house. I have food storage. I have serious food storage. SO, The things I buy are stocking up items or things that just compliment what I already have. I think it is so much fun to see how much food I can get for $100!! I LOVE FREE STUFF! Seriously! It's out there! I do alter our menu for that week if there is a super good sale. Like a dozen large eggs for $1 for example. Well, our family happens to really enjoy eggs. SO, Egg Salad Sandwiches are suddenly on the menu for two lunches that week. With summer out, that means my kids and I will go through a dozen eggs in one lunch. Not a big deal when I only paid a buck for the eggs!
SO, I am going to start blogging about my exciting adventures in coupon-ing! I don't know if anyone else will ever really read this but it will be motivation for me to stay on the ball and keep myself accountable to the plan and budget I want to be on!
Happy Couponing!
