Hello and welcome to my blog! I plan to use this blog to show you how I save tons of money on things like groceries, household items, and toiletries. Here's a little about me...
I'm 25 years old, and I've been married to my wonderful husband for just over a year and a half. I work as a contractor for the United States Navy and attend school with the hopes of starting the nursing program this fall, while my husband works for Winn Dixie (yes, I do feel a bit guilty when I shop at Publix!). We obviously don't make tons of money since we work for the government and retail industries, so we're always looking for ways to save so that we can a) pay the husband's medical bills and b) do all the things that we want to do! Oh yeah, and we also want to save up for a house and kids ;-)
Back to the blog! I clip coupons every Sunday, and I compare them to the current ads that are available for CVS, Walgreens, Publix, Winn Dixie, Wal-Mart, Target, and sometimes Food Lion and K-Mart (the last two are a bit farther than the others, and not on the way to anything else so I don't tend to go there unless it's a GREAT deal). I also then compare the coupons I have to the new ads that come available each Wednesday (Winn Dixie) and Thursday (Publix). So expect to see several posts every Sunday, as well as two more mid-week. If I find any random deals online, I'll post those as I find them. I also reference a couple blogs for great deals, such as my friend Meagan at Frugal, Fun & Fortune, and one I found through Meagan's blog at I Heart the Mart. Both are great blogs! Meagan definitely inspired me to get back into couponing, as well as teaching me a bunch of new ways to save!
Now that we've covered a few basics, I'll post some blogs on how I do what I do, as well as other ways to do what I do :-)
