Couponing

In September we had a big coupon session in our MOPS (mothers of pre-schoolers) meeting.  The girls did a wonderful job explaining how and where to save money.  I just have to say thank you to them with one breath and then a sarcastic thank you with another.  I now spend A LOT OF TIME couponing!  Really it can consume a lot of my time, but now I HATE to go shopping without coupons!  I like to think that I am getting better at it, but I still have some tricks to learn.


We have enough shower gel to last us until L.C. goes to college, but all of this was $20 out of pocket.  I got $18 back, so it really was like getting all of it for $2 and some change!!!  The moisturizers were $16 each, the Nivea shower gels are $4.99 each, the TP is $7ish...you get the picture...this was a really good deal!  Now if I could get quicker at coming up with deals.

Wow! You are going to have to teach me the secret to couponing. I try but never feel like I am saving much.
