Aug. 19, 2008 - Praise for saving money...
I used to clip coupons faithfully. Then I stopped because it just takes so much time and energy. Plus how in the world can you possibly use coupons when you have 3 or 4 little ones in tow at the grocery store? Not to mention taking the time before you even go to the store to check the circulars and actually clip the coupons? And reading the Sunday paper and even finding the coupon section? Forget it.
Well, recently, our of neccessity, I have once again become a frugal shopper. It is almost like a life challenge now to see how much free stuff I can find...or at least see how much money I can save.
I know there are lots of sites and programs out there that teach you how to do just this. Today I found this blog... http://frugalinvirginia.blogspot.com/ and I love it. I have spent the last hour looking around at all the links and signing up for freebies and coupons. My husband is now saving the Sunday paper sales ads and coupons for me. And my children are old enough to stay home while I shop.
I never thought I would say it was a joy to go to the grocery store...it's almost like a moms night out for me...I said ALMOST!!!
Praise for coupons and freebies!!!
Let me know what kind of deals you find.

Oh yes!! The joy of going to the store all by yourself!! I totally understand!!! While my hubby's gone I have to take all four, but when he's home I leave them home with him. Its like a treat!!
I don't do coupon shopping here. Its just too difficult. We don't get ads or coupons, just stacks in bags already cut out for us by some nice people in the states. It just takes too long to go through for me. I know that when we return to the states, I will once again be coupon shopping!! Thank goodness for Costco!!
