Starting Line

Okay, so after reading so many bloggers who have cut their grocery bills using coupons, I have decided to give it a shot.

This was also spurred on by me actually finding - and cutting - several coupons two weeks ago and saving $5.45 from my grocery bill in coupons. (I actually saved more as we are Club Card holders to this store)

So, I got a binder and some trading card sleeves.

I went through all the coupon inserts from last Sunday's paper (grabbing them before they went out for recycling)

And now I have gone through almost every grocery store sales flyer.

I am ready.

I know our family has room to lose in our grocery budget.

With the kids heading back to school - I should be able to cut some spending right from the get go.

It typically costs our family $650-700 per month in groceries.

I am hoping I can cut that down to $350-400 per month. I figure by putting this self-challenge out here for all to see, it will help with accountability or willpower or whatever you call it.

Wish me luck!!

And send me any of your tips for saving at the store.

I will keep you posted as to my progress on this.

Til next time, I'll still be....
