Post Couponing

Hi Ladies! My hobby right now is couponing. I've been doing this for almost a year and am starting to get good at it. I went to a local grocery store the other week and spent $75 and save $75 so I essentially cut my bill in half! I know that there are a lot of articles out there right now about couponing but, I have to say that I am not one of those couponers who has 50 cans of tomatoes, 100 toothbrushes, etc. that I've stocked up on just because it was a really great deal. I watch the ads and shop for what we truely need. This has become more of a necessity since my husband has been unemployed from his trade for 3+ years and we just had our second child. In the beginning I did do the couponing for the thrill of the sale and ended up donating a lot of it to a local womens shelter as they weren't items that we really needed. Now I just do it to save money for my family unless I come across one of those super, out of this world deals, that I just can't pass up. That doesn't happen very often though.

I was just wondering if there are any other couponing monkees out there. Want to share any of your good tricks of the trade?

How wonderful that you donate the extra to the women's shelter! I don't coupon because I find that, for the most part, coupons I find aren't for things I would ordinarily buy, and the brands I do usually buy are often cheaper than the others, even with the coupons. I think that's just because I'm not good at finding the good coupons!
