How fun is that? I'd mentioned that I started couponing a number of posts ago, and it's really been saving us a lot of money. Our grocery/household/personal care expense savings are hovering around 47% as of 2 months of couponing.
When I talk about it with friends who don't coupon, one of the questions I get the most is 'do you end up buying a lot of stuff you don't need?' Here's my answer: I only buy stuff I don't need if it's either free and it's something I can give to a food pantry or other charity OR if I can make money by purchasing it. Extra bonus if I can give it away.
One of my fave couponing and good-stewardship-of-your-finances websites is
Money Saving Mom. Here's her post giving readers a heads up on how to make
$13 on Bayer meters at Walgreens as well as how to get free Lipton Tea and Theraflu. I'm not diabetic, but I can certainly use $13 and give a glucose meter to charity so that someone who can't afford a meter can have one. Everybody wins!
