Shopping Trip 1-22-13It's Shopping Trip Time!

Think you can't coupon for Organic, Healthy Foods?? This trip will surely change your mind! With almost $195 worth of groceries, you can see that organic foods are not cheap! But I managed to only spend $56.50. This is reasonable couponing for a family of six.

App

Have you downloaded the TrueCouponing App yet? I knew what I was going to spend BEFORE I even got into the checkout lane!! Get it for Android HERE and Apple HERE. {must you even ask…YES, of course it’s FREE!}

I am a reasonable couponer…this week I only pulled coupons from three newspaper inserts. I printed a few more coupons than last week. It took about an hour to pull and cut everything (same as last week).  Our weekly budget is $80, so now I have $23.50 to go to the Produce Stand! 

~Be inspired to do this too! It is not as hard as one would think! Happy Shopping!
