Back before Macey was born I was a BIG TIME coupon shopper. Since then I have fizzled out. But I’m back in the couponing game and it feels good! I went on my first “real” coupon shopping trip yesterday and just got the necessities, diapers and cereal. I forgot to save my receipt so I could tell you how much I saved and how much I spent. It seems like the deals were a lot better four years ago, before everyone started couponing. Have you seen that new TLC show, Extreme Couponing? That’s a bit overboard, I just want to get my food storage pantry built back up. Justin said he’ll build me a food storage room if I get the hallway closet all filled up. I kinda hope I do. That would be fun! Today I spent naptime getting all my coupon inserts all organized.
It feels good to have them in individual files instead of all lumped together like they were before. I can’t handle that kind of chaos!

I hope the deals are bigger and better next week!!! Happy couponing to ya!
I enjoy couponing. I started a few years back and you do save lots of $$. I did to fizzled out a bit lately but want to go back in track! That TLC shw really motivates you!!
I love to save money with coupons. This is a great blog for couponing: http://thekrazycouponlady.com
Hey I just have a question. I have already checked out krazy coupon lady and bought their book but the way you have things organized seems a little easier. Are the dates on there the dates the expire?
Thanks,

Hi Janet. I use pinchingyourpennies.com for all of my coupon information. Some people cut out all their coupons and organize them into binders. I don’t do that. It takes too much time. The way I organize them is I put the whole coupon insert into a file folder with the date on it. Then, once a sale is posted, pinchingyourpennies tells you the date and which insert that coupon is in and I then go in and cut that coupon out. It’s much more time efficient for me. I hope that makes sense. If not, let me know and I’ll try to explain it more. Thanks soo much for stopping by! Mariesa
