So far this month I have used coupons and got $32 worth of free stuff

I never was a coupon user before but hey hey hey

That pays for 1/3 of raising my grocery budget or all of raising my gas budget or all of raising my pet budget

(DANG I hate that I had to raise my numbers but there it is)

If you have wondered about coupons I suggest you give them a try and

a bill or add it to your savings, in your gas tank,extra groceries or wherever your budget needs a boost.

The month isn't over yet. I hope to save even more!

That's great!!! I absolutely always use coupons and have for years (and I do mean years). When hubby & I were first married we had a Michigan cellar and I had it jammed packed with refunding/couponing stuff. I used to cut our grocery bill by better than 1/2 every single time. Quite a few times they actually had to pay me to take the stuff out of the store. But, that was during a time when the rebates were awesome and they doubled or tripled coupons up to $1.

That's great! I have just started using coupons again this month and have saved over $30 so far. Just a little time clipping from the newspaper and checking on-line, it does adds up.

I was surprised to find that one of our smaller local grocery stores had such good in store coupons in their ad. It's worth checking these out.

Congrats to you! Some shopping days I only have $6-7 dollars of savings, but I figure that's money left in my pocket!

I love looking at the bottom of the receipt and seeing how much I saved by using coupons. It's my rush for the day. And I amazed at all the people who don't use coupons - I used to be one of them! I cringe at all of the money I could have saved over the years.

Coupons have saved my food budget too. They allow me to buy my $3-4 gallon of milk every week!

I rebate too. Easy ones to get started are Walgreens and Rite Aid, if you have them nearby. I get to try many different brands this way. My current process is to use the reabte checks as extra payments on my #1 debt: truck loan. That's my other rush....going to the bank once a month to make my regular and extra payments. It will be done soon! 6 months! WOO HOO!

I discovered coupon about 3 years ago thanks to this web site and I will never go back! It's just amazing the bargains that are out there! Congratulations!!!
