A new hobby

I am going to attempt a new hobby and it's going to start out very slow. This may come as a surprise to you but I am going to give couponing my best effort in hopes to become an extreme couponer! Now when I saw extreme I do not mean that I am going to go grocery shopping for $4000 dollars worth of groceries and hope to spend only $300, but I am surely going to try to get as much as I can for as little as I can. I have been researchering how the process works and how to get the best deals and I am truly going to give it a shot. Now mind you, I don't have hours in a day that I can focus on finding coupons and quite frankly I don't know how these people on TV do, but I am going to try to find as many as I can in a weeks time and try to do 1 great big shopping trip once a month. We will definitely see how this works out.. I'm hoping good! I have a couple of weeks to prepare for my first big shopping trip since Justin and I will be getting married here in a few short weeks. I will let you know how it all goes!! :-)

Good luck! We did it for about 2 months before I found out I was pregnant and it's so rewarding. We felt so accomplished just shaving off $20 of our weekly grocery bill! I'm going to have to get back in the groove now that I can eat normally! Can't wait to hear how it goes.

Once you get started you won't be able to stop! You can also get coupons on your phone for stores. I use the GeoQpons app b/c it was free. I don't have much time either so I use the Sunday paper and All You magazine. Between those three things I get a lot!
