There is a girl in our Sunday School class, and one whom I've known for the better part of my life who saves A TON OF MONEY in groceries!!! She does this through using coupons at various stores and "stacking" coupons to save more money! I was so excited when another of my friends, sweet Danielle, hosted a class at her home last week!! We learned all about how to stack those coupons!
I ventured to Publix a few days after my first class and here's what I got:
I was able to get all the above for $7.67 (or something close to it)..with tax, it was right at $8.00...I COULD HAVE walked out of there spending only $3, but I didn't see my subtotal before I handed them my coupons and so I didn't get to use my $5 off a $20 purchase coupon. BUMMER! But....live and learn! I'm thinking I still got a good deal on the above items for only $8.00!!! (probably the only reason I still spent $8 is because that shortening you see was $4 by itself!) I think I got one other item too, but I put it somewhere else in the house and then couldn't remember what it was.....sorry!Stay tuned to see and hear about my great grocery deals!

I need to learn how to do this!!! ASAP.
ReplyDeleteYAY!! I love saving money--I have cut my grocery bill in HALF using coupons!
ReplyDeleteNow tell me about this "stacking."
ReplyDeleteYay! Put all that new knowledge to use! I am going to try some tomorrow!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Charon! That's huge. I know what you mean about being cheap! Coupons are a lifesaver.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how to stack coupons. What does that even mean? Do you put them in a nice, neat pile? I need to learn... Hook me up Charon!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, Charon! I need to start saving like that.
ReplyDeleteThat is good to be able to save money in this day and age. We don't get a newspaper so I don't have much opportunity to clip coupons. I remember my mother"s coupon holder bulging with coupons and she made sure she used all of them before they expired. I think it's a great way to save money when you have a young, growing family.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so would your friend be will to come teach a class to about 5-10 of me and my friends. We would all even chip in and give her a good 'ol fashion love offering to help us. Several of my friends have been clipping coupons but are still waiting on the big savings. Seriously, let me know I would really be interested. And let her know that I'm not some kind of crazy person :)
ReplyDeleteI too have no idea what coupon stacking is... can we request a detailed post... ;) I consider myself fairly coupon savvy... but this sounds like something BIG that I am missing out on! ;) Happy Monday afternoon!
