I have taken on the task of really learning to use coupons. I read all about these people who can cut their grocery bill to almost nothing by using coupons. I have always been pretty doubtful about it all. I stick to the tried and true Low prices at Walmart. So, this week I have my list and I'm printing out coupons and I'm going to see how it goes. When Tim gets home from work today I am off to do some grocery shopping. Really, I'm just looking forward to some time by myself. I feel terrible feeling that way. I love my kids, I am so thankful they are here and they are healthy and that God has blessed us with them, but this week...I've had just about enough. I know my emotions play a big part in this and most days I am excited to watch them grow and learn. So, as my escape, I am going to the grocery store! Hopefully to save some money!
Here's my dilema with coupons...
I almost always buy store brand. I have a hard time figuring out the coupons and store deals to save money on brands with coupons that would make it cheaper than buying store brand.
Also...we buy diapers at Sam's. Should I use the coupons and store sales? Would that make it cheaper? Someone please just tell me what to buy, what coupons to use and where to buy it!
Guess I better go do some more research. There are tons of blogs out there, I just have to get through them all without pulling out my hair or giving up and returning to Walmart!

Hey girl! I'm right there with you on the coupons. I have recently signed up with The Grocery Game. You get 8 weeks of lists to one store for $10. Each additional store (if you want more) adds $5 every 8 weeks. They match up the store sales with coupons from the paper. The idea is to stockup on things when they are at their lowest price. I've been doing Kroger. Today I got a weeks worth of groceries. The bill started out at $155 and with the sales and coupons ended up being $75. And I got 6 free items this week. It's fairly easy to use and not too terribly time-consuming. Lisa shops at Tom Thumb and some other ladies at church do Albertsons. Everyone seems to be saving money. I'd be happy to answer any questions. Hope that helps!
