Days 9 and 10

I have spent the last few days organizing coupons and going through old magazines that seem to pile up since I have had Mr. G. I was a pretty faithful couponer last year, and once I had Mr. G, it seemed to take a back seat. I decided it is ridiculous not to use them. Free money! I used to use a coupon binder, but now have decided to go back to my coupon envelope. A few of the sites I like to use are:

www.hip2save.com
www.raininghotcoupons.com
www.krazycouponlady.com

I shop at three stores, Kroger, Walgreens, and Target. So, I split coupons up in those categories in my envelope, and then have an extra slot for extra coupons. The key to saving money and not becoming a hoarder, is to only buy what you will use or can donate. I do occasionally use more then one coupon on an item to get a good stockpile on cereal and hygiene items. The key also is to match store coupons with manufacture coupons or get register rewards (from Walgreens). Watch to see how much I save this week!
