some recent reciepts

of savings, just this week. 

Our shopping trip!

so it wasn't "extreme" couponing per say but we saved 31 dollars using our store card and coupons which the store doubled. MOST of the items were on sale before the coupons and store card too. We also got 10 bucks back to spend another time which will buy the rest of my mom's mother's day present :)
Not bad for the first time out.

I can now blog from my phone!

Inside the Binder

most in the binder to date are coupons from coupon websites and blogs. Also a few from the stores themselves either obtained online or at the register at checkout. 

At the moment I have 5 sections: food, health, beauty, cleaning and miscellaneous. This is my starting tabs and dividers but i am sure as i get better at this it will be more precise. 

It is done!

Here is a picture of my finished coupon binder!
BIG coupon day on Sunday so I get to load em up and get some couponing done soon!

after Sunday's insert I'll make a post with the inside and a roundup of some of the coupons in my collection. :)

Couponing

I am going to finally start to really coupon with a binder and everything.
I have also decided to ship my expired ones to Military bases.

These are the sites I am getting helpful info from:
