Week 4 Shopping update

I took my coupon binder on a test drive last week. ...And didn't end up using a thing. But thats ok. It doesn't save you any money to buy something just because you have a coupon you know what I mean? I shopped the adds and got a lot of our basics for pretty cheep because of price matching. Yay!  So we saved a little bit of money. We still paid 80 bucks. But that isn't bad for about a week and a half-2 weeks.

But I must say that Chris was pretty impressed with my organization skills. Thats a first. I'm not an organized person by any means.

I am applying for a few jobs here and there. But I am being very picky about them. No Sundays. Better pay. So in the event that my plan doesn't work as planned and I still have to work, I won't have to work as much. Or on Sundays, so we can have at least one day to spend as a family.

Week 2 Day 4 Coupon Binder

Life has been pretty busy for me. But somehow I managed to get my coupons organized! YAY!!!!

I had to wait to get my Staples Rewards Check (you get 10% back on ink paper and copies at Staples with a rewards card) to get the binder and baseball card holders. So, I paid nothing to get all nice and organized. What could be better than that?!

                                                             Here is my pile of coupons. 

Then I divided 2 papers into sections according to the organization of my grocery store...or at least how I picture it. i may need to change a few things once I start actually using it. Here are my coupons all divided into groups.

Each group gets their own page, and eventually their own section. I still need to create something to divide each one. But I think I'm going to wait until I actually go to my grocery store to see how close I was.

I don't have a picture of the final product. But you can see the cute green binder peaking in the corner of my second photo.

Now I don't have an excuse to not use my coupons. Let the savings Begin!!!!
