So Ive been on this fun journey of couponing and learning to stretch my dollar any which way I can. Last week i took my husband shopping with me to Albertson's, and Fry's. All he could say was WOW! We save $300 between sales, and coupons, and we got stuff we wanted and needed. Every week I'm slowly adding to a small stockpile of necessities we all use and working to keep us from paying full retail.
There is a world of info out there at your fingertips, and I didn't think it was possible to coupon & price match and eat healthy at the same time. But it is! I get great quality food you all get and pay a fraction of the cost. In this economic crisis its a crime to pay full price. The companies are "giving" these coupons to use, and its up to us to be smart about it all!
As many of you may have figured out I prefer the healthier choices in food, and these tend to be pricier, but even in my pantry I can save money So I can afford the luxuries I have to have (Coconut oil, Coconut flour, Organic Brown Eggs, etc.) Now many of you may think its frivolous to spend $$ on these expensive food items, but I believe paying for your health here and now, and not later in medical bills, and other onset issues. But this is in fact my opinion and I believe that weather your pinching pennies, on food stamps, elderly, or have all the $$ in the world your health is important, but I will not judge you either way by the food you give your family!
I hope many of you out there get the opportunity to coupon and experience the exhilaration i get from saving my family $. There are still many things I don't buy just because I have a coupon. But in my savings I can breathe easier knowing I'm doing my part staying prepared.
Have a great night Everyone.
