We had this project/ field trip in 4 th grade to make a list and shop for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner. We could use sales and coupons to try and come up with the cheapest meal in the class.
The class took a trip to the local grocery store to shop and pretend purchase the items for our dinners. Now, I can barely manage to take my 2 kids to the grocery store let alone a WHOLE 4th GRADE CLASS. That's 30 nine year olds!
I remember one kid in our class kept wanting to buy whatever he had a coupons for. "We don't need that, it's not on our list."
"But! I have a coupon!" His team lost.
I recently started couponing. And I'm super excited for Extreme Couponing on TLC to air next week.
I have been reading and printing and organizing and calculating. I feel like I am starting to get the hang of it. I haven't saved hundreds or have a massive stash.
But here's my latest round-up. Over $33 retail value for $6.
12 items. That's only 50 cents an item! In case you can't see everything (I'm also new to blogging and documenting my coupon scores), here's the run- down:
3 boxes of Nature Valley granola bars
2 Axe shower gels
1 Axe hair gel- that thing is normally $6 on its own!
2 Ajax dish soaps
1 tube of A&D ointment
1 Suave Kid's shampoo
2 loaves of Aunt Millie's Heathy Goodness bread
I just want to cut my grocery bill by atleast $100 a month. Something to build our savings up faster. Because car repairs, dental bills and Consumer's Energy are NOT our friends. Ever.
Anyone have any good tips? Here are my favorite sites...
