Coupon Savy

I was surfing the internet the other day and came across this blog about saving money with coupons. It was talking about this woman who can go to the store and spend $4.00 a week on groceries and household items for a family of 6 plus 4 animals. It was amazing... She has a stockpile of coupons that she has saved from everywhere, 5 years worth of toilet paper (that was free), and she has never paid money for her child's diapers (and he is 3). Now, if you don't think that's amazing I don't know what it is.
So, I'm on a new mission now...SAVE MONEY WITH COUPONS!! I know that I won't be as good as she is because she has been doing this for years and knows a thing or two about how it all works. But, I'm determined to use coupons, surf the net for deals, and spend far less money than I usually do.
I have been researching it all week and have found that is it pretty interesting all the stuff you can find and use to save money. I have made it into a little game and I'm becoming super organized with it all.
My first experience with coupons didn't go so well, but I went to Kroger yesterday to buy a few grocery items we needed for this week and saved a pretty good amount of money (to me)...$2.10, not much but it's a start.
My first big deal will be happening tomorrow when I go to Walgreens. They have Arm and Hammer laundry detergent buy one for 6.99 and get one free. I have a $1.00 off coupon and $2.00 worth of register rewards from them. Which means I get 64 loads of laundry detergent for $3.99 + tax. That, I have to say is a very good deal!!
I'm hoping to get really good to where we can cut our grocery bill in half at first...that will free up money to go elsewhere. I'm super excited about my new experience and hope I can get the hang of it to where I'll be a pro like those other people out in the world that don't pay for things of this nature.
