You know I already keep a running total of my savings on my sidebar, so this will just be a little more specific and include a post at the end of each month to share my savings from the month.
What you can look forward to in my "How Much Can I Save in a Year" monthly posts:
-Monthly updates on my savings.
-Monthly updates on free items from the month.
-Monthly tips on saving money that you can utilize.
-An occasional video post on my savings (see below for a taste of that).
We would love to have you join us! If you would like to, please leave a comment with your link on my post at the end of the month or send me an email letting me know you would like to be included and I will included a link to your blog in my monthly posts.
And in order to make this kick-off to savings even more fun, I'm including a little video of my savings from my shopping trip today. Let me apologize in advance for a few things:
-Boone's whining toward the end of the post.
-I annoyingly chew gum at the beginning of the video.
-I misspoke and stated that I had a $2 off coupon for the chips...really they cost $2 and I had a $1/1 coupon making them $1.
-This is my first video post of myself. Enough said.
My questions for you: In general, are you interested in saving money using coupons? Are you interested in tips to help you saving money? What would you like to hear about? Where do you feel you're a little "rusty" on saving money? What types of posts would really benefit your household budget? I would love to hear your input in hopes to meet your needs in the upcoming year and get you motivated to save.
Oh I'm so excited for this. I try but I just don't really get all of it. I want to know how you can use 2 coupons on one item, and what in the world is a Catalina? I know very specific, but you asked:)
ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic day of savings!!! you are adorable... love the video! i was a coupon fiend until our 2nd baby was born. now, i'm lucky if i make a list. but, i do tend to only buy what is on sale. my son has severe allergies, so it has also changed the way i shop. i can't buy anything and everything. : ( so, in short, i'm not saving like i used to. but, i still get so thrilled hearing about other's savings! : )
ReplyDeletei have been wanting to try couponing forever! i just never get around to it! lol! i'm always about SAVING though! your video is adorable! you are so cute and it was fun hearing you. i have been meaning to do a vlog! hopefully i can do one soon!
ReplyDeleteoh you are so adorable! loved your video :) and yes i'd love to do this! i might copy you and add the savings total in my side bar and do a update like you mentioned. i love krogers, they have the best savings deals. couponing has saved us so much money and plus its just so fun to get a great deal!

ReplyDeleteI don't know where to find coupons. that's why I don't use them. Like where are you getting these?
I would LOVE to save mroe money using coupons but I'm just either too lazy or not convinced of how much I can really save. I'm really looking forward to your tips!
