What am I doing?!?!

Well here goes...
      First off, THANK YOU for reading my blog!! All of this started a couple of weeks ago. My husband was telling me about a story he heard about of a woman getting $600+ worth of groceries for around $50. I thought maybe he heard it wrong or this woman was lying. Luckily a couple day's later a show called "extreme couponing" came on. I was in awe! Not to mention a little weirded out by the extreme's these people took.
     One lady spent 70 hours a week looking for, printing out and organizing all her coupons! Another lady bought like 4 sunday newspapers a week and went through her local newspaper recycling dumpsters for coupons! I love saving money but please! I'm not going there!
     I must admit I do have a binder to store all my coupons and a list of my coupons loaded to my Fred Meyer rewards card(more on that later). It all may sound a bit much but it is so cool to go through check out and see that after you have used your coupons you have saved $30! I'm not a pro by any means but I thought why not let people know where I have been getting good deal's and see where other people are getting deal's. I save on average $20-$30 a week and I save on items from food to cleaning supplies and beauty supplies. They are almost alway's on brand name item's too.
      So to wrap up my rambling my main goal is too spread the good word of getting more for less! I'll post when certain stores are having big sales and when I come across amazing coupons. I would love to get a coupon exchange going too! So I would love to hear your opinions and feel free to let me know what kind of coupons you love to find. If I come across a good coupon a reader likes I will clip it and save it for you or let you know where they can get coupon. Can't wait to hear from you all!
 Happy clipping, Jamie
