so, a lot of my friends have been asking me how the couponing thing is going. i think they are asking for a few reasons - is it a practical thing to do and is it a tangible thing to do? in other words, will the time and effort i spend clipping and planning pay off in the end? will i see the rewards?
i don't have the answer to that yet, but suffice it to say, that i have begun the chart - listing how many items i buy, what my before and after coupon cost is and what percentage i'm saving.
on a personal note: MY end goal is to end my $50/year costco membership. now you say, $50/year is not even that much. this is totally true... tooootally true. HOWEVER, the items in costco, while they are wholesale, aren't always the best price. also, you are limited as to what you can purchase. so, in the next couple of months, i will be "stockpiling" (and i use that word loosely, as my stockpile consists of 3 toothpastes & 3 shampoos) to offset my trips to costco.
i'll update my blog with my MAY 2011 savings and the number of items i purchased. in the meantime, i'll keep posting the deals i find and the deals i get. post some of the deals you get too!!
