I don’t know about you but I love getting a great deal. After church on Sunday, I come home and go through all the circulars to see what is on sale and where I can get the best price. Between the coupons I clip and purchasing sale items I generally knock $40 – $50 a week off my grocery bill!! Now some people might be shaking your head in disbelief while others might be laughing thinking me an amateur to your money saving savviness. I will admit there is still room to improve in my saving quest and would love to learn more from the “pros” out there.
Recently I was talking with a friend about clipping coupons and was surprised when they said the reason they don’t clip coupons was because stores don’t double them any more. After letting what they said sink in for a minute I asked so if you have coupons that would save you $10 off your bill you won’t use them because you can’t save $20? They couldn’t answer. That same $10 savings every week would add up to $520 in saving by the end of the year — Hello?? Who wouldn’t love to have that kind of extra cash come Christmas shopping time!!
In the next few posts, we’ll talk about ways to turn that $10 a week savings off your groceries into $20, $30, even $40 off your grocery bills each and every week. If you are willing to take the time & do a little homework before you head out to the stores you can save a lot of money. I would love to hear your money saving ideas as well – please leave your comments and lets see how much we can save.
