Ok.... So here I go!
My family moved to NC 6 months ago ( WOW... time is flying) and now I have a little more time on my hands. Since we have been here I have been feeling the desire to be a little more frugle with our money. Well it started with coupon clipping which I felt I never had time to do before or I would clip them and leave them at home and forget to use them. When I got started I would save tops $8 off of my grocery bill. I was having a hard time figguring out how to make this work. I was still walking out of the grocery store spending anywhere from $150 - $200 for about and a week and a half of food and toiletries. Well, I have found some of my favoriet sites that I go to often to get the best tips on saving money. Now I have been able to spent $60-$100 a week on food. I am still new at this and working on how to cut that down even more! It is so much fun! I am also finding way of getting things for free! Even better huh.
Here are some of the sites I check often! These girls are great at getting be best deals at CVS and more!
