Welcome!

Hi Y'all!
    I'm an avid couponer and always looking for the best deals. I've decided to start a blog because my friends are always asking me how I save so much money each month on groceries, beauty care, toiletries, ect. There really isn't anything out there that I can't get a deal on . My husband likes to joke that I'm an extreme couponer ever since that show came out, but the difference is that my shopping is realistic. No I don't have 120 bottles of yellow mustard or 150 bottle of soda sitting in my closet, but I do have a reasonable stockpile that contains all the items that my family needs!  For the Year 2011 we purchased around $13,000 worth of grocery/health care items and paid $660 for a 95% savings, and thats not all just junk food y'all. We buy fresh produce, bread, milk, meats, poultry, and other mainstays. The hardest part is really learning how to take advantage of every sale and stocking up on the items that your family needs and is going to use. I'm not a fan of buying things just because they are free, we have a rule, if it's not going to be used or donated to a friend who can use it we don't buy it.

  The goal of my Blog is not to boast or brag about my great shops, or to junk it up with EVERY great deal out there. But to really just share my stories, experiences, and shopping adventures from a Blogger point of view. Sure I'll throw in some photos every-once in a while, and tell you about some amazing deal that I've found and want you to act on, but mostly it will be filled with adventures in couponing. It would be great if you could leave feedback in the comments section, and of course I will be calling upon you from time to time to get a little conversation going. So lets have fun with this. No coupon match-ups, or deal of the day here just real life couponing at it's best.
