Credit is due

I need to give some people some credit for my couponing. I said that I went to this class that my cousin put on and it was great. The women who put it on does this blog she shops smart. IT seemed so easy, fast, and practical. I decided to give it a go and I had my exciting shopping trip yesterday. She showed us how to use a website called grocery smarts. Grocery Smarts takes all of the weekly ads from the newspaper and matches them up with the coupons to get you the best deals. They do all the work for you! And you get all the fun money saving benefits! Best part of all, both sites are FREE! I hope that I can keep up with doing this and see how much money I can save!

Trends

Usually I am the absolute most stubborn person when it comes to being "trendy". I will do absolutely everything possible to get away from any current "trends". However. A month or so ago I went to a class on couponing that my cousin hosted. (Thanks Kindra! and Mike and Trudy!) And that was the day that my life changed forever. HA ha, just kidding, but really. Today was my first real coupon experience. This is what I bought. Your job is to guess how much I paid.

10 boxes of cereal, 10 yogurts, 2 packages of ham, and some corn tortillas.
