WAY TO GO! I too have started couponing, however, I dont think I am saving quite that much. Do tell your secrets...please! I am doing the Walgreens/CVS stuff, and then using coupons with things on sale, and I havent calculated it out, but I really dont think I have saved that much. Email me the goods!
Me too Mary. Send me the "goods." Most of our budget goes to groceries, so anything to help save $$$ I am all over that!
Mary - you are AWESOME!! Way to go.
You rock! That's awesome!
Good for you! You inspire me!
HOLY SMOKES!! That is amazing!!!
I have been doing coupon sense for about a year and a half or so now and love it as well. I sometimes wish I had more time to dedicate to it. It feels good to see the savings and get the reactions of the cashiers doesn't it.
