~~Coupon Craziness~~

I was so excited to open my mailbox yesterday to find my little yellow pkg. containing my Tide Sample that I had registered for on Facebook just a week before!! I am new to the whole Coupon Craziness that seems to have taken over with everyone these days!  I remember my mom when I was a little girl, clipping coupons and using them in the grocery store, and at that time, I don't remember people being as coupon crazy then?  Now, in this day and time, the way the economy has gotten, we need all the help we can get!! I have a family of 5 and a dog.  It takes alot to feed 3 growing kids and a dog twice a day, so every little bit helps me!!

I just recently purchased a binder, trading card pages, and a pencil pouch to start organizing my coupons.  I took my coupon binder with me this past weekend to Kroger and was very satisfied for my first "organized coupon binder" shopping experience.  Between Kroger Card Plus savings and manufacturing coupons, I saved $100.00 and even had a couple ladies ask me how I had my binder set up and they were going to have to look into fixing them one up as well =)

This has led me to scheduling a coupon class at my church next week with "The Classy Coupon Clipper" for anyone who wants to attend and learn more about the whole Coupon Crazy World!  I am lucky to have a mother and a mother-in-law who clips coupons and hands me down what they have left over and it sure does help to have 2 or 3 of the same coupon! One of my favorite things about Kroger is they will double coupons up to 50 cents off as well =)  I look forward to sharing any tips or ideas that I learn at the coupon class here on my blog and hope that it helps someone else as well.....
