attempt at couponing

coupons

Jeremy and I have given a solid “go” at couponing. In fact, we have a coupon holder that I carry around with us whenever we go out together. We heard in church once that there is a group of men that play the grocery game. And this is what they do, they try to spend no more than they save, they do the bogo’s and give the one they got free to the food bank, and they use coupons. I was amazed-I had never thought to do this. I think Jeremy and I took it as a personal challenge to be better stewards. So we’ve adopted the coupon end of things (we’re building up to it).

But, this, blows my mind – I’ve heard of the CVS magic of several of my friends, and been shocked at the free items (or next-to free items they buy). But it’s real – and I found the best article yet, on the topic and was wondering if any of you have tried it.

I’m headed straight for an extra care card. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

    You can do it! A tiny time investment to save a ton of money. I was the coupon clipper as a child for my home . I still do it AND it is REALLY hard for me to purchase anything at Target or the grocery store without it being on sale AND having at least one coupon for the item. Target’s online coupons for perishables are awesome too.

    Ooh, fun! I’m starting to get into this now too. My first attempt at CVS was Friday, and I felt fairly successful, though of course I’m not at the level of getting everything free yet…will keep trying.

    My biggest problem so far has been finding coupons. I’ve been printing online, and my mother-in-law gave me a big stack, but I’m not very good at finding manuf. coupons yet…I tried the Sunday paper a couple weeks ago but was a little disappointed. Maybe I need to find a bigger paper? Where are you getting your coupons?
