Coupon Mom

I don't normally watch Oprah, but I do look at her website often and came across this topic that she featured on her show the other day. The show was all about the thriftiest families in America and their money saving tips. There was this lady on the show and she calls herself "Coupon Mom" and she is this crazy coupon clipping, money saving genius! So I decided to check out her site and see if it would be of use to me.
Every Sunday, I make a menu for the following week that includes 3 meals for every day along with snacks in between. It makes life easier especially with my day care that way I always have a plan and am never spending and wasting lots of time trying to figure out what to feed everyone. I always try to base my menus off of things that I already have in my cabinets so that way I am not buying crap that I do not need. I normally shop at the base grocery store so I am already saving, but with coupon mom's site she has tons of free printable coupons. The other thing I noticed is that for the state of Utah she featured Smith's grocery store and highlights what all their in store specials are. You can also find coupons for these specials and save even more. SO....I think what I am going to try for next shopping trip is base my list off of coupons and in store specials and see just how much I can save. I have never used coupons in my life so I am excited to try it out and see what happens. Is it bad when you get excited over grocery shopping with coupons? Click here for her website! I know I am a super dork!
