This lady is my hero. She saved 97% on her grocery bill by using coupons.
I don’t know how she does it, but she has tons of coupons. The only coupons we can find here are for 50¢ off when you buy 5 jars of pickles. We don’t need that many pickles, and certainly spending $20 on pickles just for 50¢ off is ridiculous.
watch and wonder:
Well hello, and thank you for joining me on this cheaptastic voyage through the world of finding great deals, limiting consumer purchases, and being proud of being cheap while maintaining some dignity.
And what better time for a blog full of money-saving tips! Many of us have lost our jobs; we are struggling to stay afloat financially, and we are feeling that depressing holiday pressure to buy expensive gifts for everybody we know. The biggest financial companies on Wall Street are crumbling around us, and the American car manufacturers are asking for our help. All this and a head of garlic is now 50¢. Inflation! No longer do we live in a time when garlic is 3 for a dollar. Times like these call for drastic measures.
Yes, I am cheap, but I find myself spending money like never before. It seems impossible not to. Groceries, phone bill, prescriptions, car insurance, gas… It all adds up, and when the usual steady income is interrupted, it can cause some serious freaking out.
So here I am, spreading tips on how I try to keep costs low, without sacrificing my health, without sacrificing too much of my general happiness.
I hope you enjoy this cheap little journey. Please feel free to add in your tips, comments, and views on any of the subjects we cover. You can always email me with suggestions anytime.
Enjoy!
