a great way to organize my coupons. I was using the binder method, but it just didn't work for me. Using the shoe box is so much more easier and helpful. Since I incorporated the shoe box, I have been a saving machine!
Today we had a rain day from school. So I decided to go to the grocery store and to Wendy's I saved $10.89 at the grocery store. I only buy things we need or will use. We needed razors, shaving cream, toothpaste, etc. Those things really add up a lot of money. So I was glad to use my coupons.
One coupon the cashier scanned said it was expired. I looked at the date - 2/15/13 and showed her. She just manually entered it. I will say that using coupons does help Corbin and Allie not to bug me in the grocery store. I just give each of them a coupon and let them get the item. They are old enough to get the correct item, and it really teaches them about saving money.
After our grocery shopping, I took them to Wendy's I got Allie a kids meal for $1.99 and Corbin a single cheeseburger for free because I ordered fries and a drink. I saved $5.09 at Wendy's.
But best of all, Allie was cleaning out her backpack and found $5. I am sure that this was lunch money that she forgot she had. Ha! I love finding money!
