Sooo  a lot of you guys have asked about my couponing, how much I actually get, spend, etc. I really can’t explain coupon, it’s something that you have to figure out what’s best for you. I’ve been trying to keep my spending to under $100 a week, this week I am right under $50. You might be wondering where the meat & meals are…well I am actually stocked up on that well enough where I didn’t need to buy any meat or meal stuff. By the way OOP = Out of Pocket. Couponing isn’t something you can just grab a bunch of coupons & just go to the grocery store…you need to look at sales, prices, etc. For CVS I find great deals on HCW and order coupons a few weeks ahead of time so I can get multiples of each items.

Spent $14 on produce for the week

Retail: $33.16 | OOP: $5.32 | Savings: $27.84 / 87%

Retail: $139 | OOP: $26.68 | Savings: $112.12 / 81%

FREE RAZORS!

I have people asking where do I get my coupons, how I save so much money, etc. Well I decided I’d put a post together of all my resources to help those who want to do the same as me & save!

Where do you get your coupons?
Mainly I get them from the Sunday paper that usually has 2-3 coupon inserts a week. I also email companies I buy often to gush over their products, many have sent coupons..even FREEBIES!

How do you know when to use your coupons?
You look for sales & match it with coupons to get maximum savings. I use a variety of coupon/savings websites that guide me in my coupon savings since I don’t have time to look through every flyer, check out prices at every store, etc.

What sites do you use to find deals?
- Grocery Game: My #1 source for grocery & pharmacies! It comes out each week & is super easy to work!! If you sign-up please let me know & I’ll give you my e-mail to use as a referel
- More Then Enough: They have wonderful deals for Target & Wal-mart
- Freebies4Mom: Great site that loves featuring freebies!
- MoneySavingMom: More great deals!

Shelf Price: $40.21 | Out Of Pocket: $16.85 | Total Savings: 58% 23.36

I have found a site that makes couponing sooooo easy. I bought 4 newspapers this week (so I could get 4 sets of coupons & stock up on stuff) But I’m thinking to get more newspapers this week on Saturday (they cost less on Saturday), so I can stockpile stuff that is super cheap that I use anyways. If you want me to email you the website just leave a comment, cause I get free weeks if I refer people. Ha! I’m so frugal.

Oh and just cause I’m a nutball…I’d like to share the above image.
