First Time for Everything

January 26th, 2009 at 01:50 am

So, I asked my wife if I could take over the shopping last week. She does so much and I, although am working with a start up company which keeps me pretty busy, I felt I was ready to take on a little more of the household responsibilities.

So two weeks ago I ordered the Couponizer. I also ordered our local paper for weekend deliveries only ($11/mo). I started clipping coupons, sorting them and preparing for my first shopping trip.

Well, I took our list, compared coupons and off I went.

I feel GREAT! I saved $56.00 between coupons and in-store sales with my bonus card. I am proud of how much I bought, including breakfast and snack items for the girls' lunches. So, I think I will be allowed to continue. Only a few things were questioned but overall, I faired pretty well. God bless.

    Wow! I am impressed. This says a lot about the flexibility of you and your wife. It's often hard to switch roles like that!

    Google it. It is great. It comes fully organized to help you prepare for each shopping trip. It was a total of $25.00 but I saved double that already. God bless.

    Aren't coupons so much FUN! I'm having a blast bragging to friends and family about how many products I've gotten lately for free or nearly free. My mom actually thought I meant 2008 when I gave her the dollar amount. Uh no, so far in 2009.... over $250.00 Smile
