Being a good steward

I am an avid "couponer". My husband would say "obsessive". But, I look at it as being a good steward of what God has given us. I absolutely LOVE finding a good deal! My coupon binder keeps me organized and I take it with me everywhere:


I follow a lot of the "Frugal" blogs and get a lot of info from them about saving money on the everyday things we need. I'll share what I learn here on my blog. There are a lot of websites that are great resources for saving money, www.hotcouponworld.com is a great one to start with. I've also learned the art of "stockpiling" or as Grant calls it, my store. I'll share pictures of that in a later post. The great thing about all of this, is that I get great deals and also get to "share the wealth" by donating and helping others and not spending a lot out of my pocket.

My favorite place to get my deals is Walgreens. I had never shopped there before I started reading the blogs and found out about the "Drugstore Game". You would not believe the free and almost free things I have gotten in the last year! Just as an example: Last week I went to Walgreens and bought 8 suave deodorants and 6 tubs of Huggies wipes, I paid $3.91 and got back $10 in Register Rewards to spend there the next time I go. All by using coupons and knowing how to work the deals! Now you can see why I'm hooked!

I'll be sure to share all my great deals and how I got them, so you can get them too! First you have to start getting coupons and then the fun begins! I get them from the Sunday paper and if there are really good ones I'll get more than 1 copy. It takes a little time to cut and file them, but it's well worth it. I'll post later about my filing system, but if you have any questions or comments just leave them below and I'll get back to you.
