So as most of you know my new role as of September has been "stay at home wife" and soon will be "stay at home wife and mom." Besides monthly budgeting, I have been working hard at learning how to use coupons to help reduce our monthly food bill! Anyway for the last month I have been clipping coupons from the Sunday paper and then once or twice a week also printing them from online sites as well as subscribing to daily blogs of other Mom's who are serious coupon clippers....
It takes a little while to build a coupon stash and I have finally started to get some pretty good deals and saving at least $5-$15 everytime I go shopping....I was really proud of myself this week and Dereck was very impressed when we went to Safeway and were able to score a 5 lb box of "cutie" oranges for FREE ($6.99 value) and then 10 boxes of Nabisco/Kraft crackers (Graham Crackers, Wheat Thins, etc) for only $5.40. So each box only cost us $0.54! Our pantry is now stocked with crackers for a while! Anyway I just wanted to encourage those of you who don't use coupons to start! It is really quite fun!
