Today was a long day! I didn’t get out of work until 8, then I had to go grocery shopping. Normally, I do the groceries on Saturdays because it is the only day that I have time however this last Saturday of course was spent puking my guts out. Good times!

I have to say though sometimes I feel like I could do this shopping thing professionally. I picked the right stuff at the store I guess, because I ended up with 3 times more food than I normally do after spending $100. I love that feeling. I really want to get more into coupon-ing because seriously you can save major cash if you use coupons and use them at the right time. For instance if you get coupons for $1 off hamburger helper by printing them online or clipping them in the paper, and you save the coupon until HH is on sale for $1 a box at the grocery store, yep that is FREE Hamburger Helper, my friends. All you really need to do is spend about 1-2 hours a week printing coupons and clipping them in the Sunday paper. The Sunday paper costs money, however sometimes you can ask your friends to save you the coupons if they don’t use them. That can save you even more. All you really need is patience and a love of shopping. Here is a good example of how to save uber money using coupons.

Me, I am just getting the hang of it. Unfortunately, I don’t seem to get to the store when the items that I use are on sale so I generally rely only on the current store sales. I am still training myself to be a true coupon master and the only problem is that it might become an obsession (it already is). I do not want to be the 26 yr old girl on the street that sits around clipping coupons, but it sure sounds like something to brag about.
