Centsable Saving Stories (and Struggles): Shopping With Cents

I wasn’t always a “coupon gal.” In past, I would run to the store and just buy whatever we needed or wanted! I would normally spend around $200 on one shopping trip to Walmart. Don’t get me wrong–I loved finding a great deal, but I would do it online. P ricegrabber was my best friend. I used to find deals all the time online, and I would get products for 50% off or more, far less than what my friends and family were paying. I always thought to myself, “I am going to find a better deal on that.” So I did!This is what sparked my “how to save money at the grocery store” interest. I started reading some blogs online where they would mention that they got 10 of something FREE and I thought, “I can do this.” So my passion for coupons began. At first my husband thought I was silly. He would always ask, “Now, why do you need 10 Sunday papers?” Now he is so grateful. I have cut our grocery bill by 70%, built up a food storage with more toothpaste, toilet paper, and shampoo than we know what to do with. We now have more money for the fun things in life, like family vacations. I love helping others save money. This has become a passion of mine. I have helped my family alone save thousands of dollars this year on their groceries. This doesn’t even include all my loyal readers–there is a lot of money saving going on! If only everyone knew how easy it is to save money on their groceries, they would be amazed!
