Just starting out

As the description above states I am just beginning a new couponing adventure. I have been using coupons at grocery stores for a few years and have saved what I thought was a lot of money. I'm always on the lookout for great deals on everything. For example, two years ago I spent only $12 on Christmas gifts for my entire family. They were good gifts, too!


Anyway, this year couponing will not just be a hobby but a passion. I have already started learning new strategies and organizing my coupon collection. Recently, I have focused on  online research about programs that drug stores offer and was amazed to discover that I was throwing away money by not paying attention. I have even created my own spreadsheet system to track my spending and savings. My goal is save more and spend less.


I will share my shopping trips and savings and hopefully at the end of the year I will have mastered the art of couponing.

Welcome to the blogging world and may your dreams of great savings come true! CVS will certainly help :-). I also just started another new blog--Simply Blogging, about starting a blog from scratch and how to promote it.
