Recent Savings

Combining Sales and Coupons

I bought these items on a recent visit to Wal-Mart.  The total was over $32 and I ended up paying $4.33 

out of pocket!!

I have tried cutting coupons in the past and would spend so much time cutting and sorting only to go to the grocery store and save a few dollars at a time.  While every little bit helps, this just didn't seem to be worth all the effort.  I knew that there had to be a way to save more but I quickly got discouraged and just gave up.  Now I am learning to find items that are on sale and combine them with coupons for the maximum savings.  I have also learned some easy organization tips that have made the process easier.  

In the coming days I will begin to share some of the simple strategies that I have learned and you can begin to see savings add up.

These were my purchases last week at CVS and Walgreens.  These items totaled $164.84 and I paid 

$31.77
