Ok so it seems the new big thing is super coupon-
ing. (maybe not new, I'm usually behind the curve) but it seems I am seeing more blogs and columns claiming that super
couponing or stacking coupons have saved family budgets $800+ a month. Average food budget is around $1000 and I have read claims of dropping that to $200 or less while building up food storage.
Seriously?? I usually brush it off and think ah that's nice, but today I've been thinking...does it really work?
I just came across
coupongals and it sounds almost too good to be true. So I want to know if there are any real life super
couponers out there. I think someone we know at least started this because a while back my husband came home saying something about someone getting a load of groceries for $5.47 (or some unheard of amount) and that there were actually sites you could subscribe to that would tell you about coupons or something. I can't remember who it was though. So if you have tried this-successful-or-not, I want to hear!
- can you really save that much money?
- is it worth the amount of time it would appear to take?
- do you save enough to pay for the newspaper subscriptions?
- how many papers do you subscribe to?
- how to you even start?...it looks so overwhelming
- do you run into problems with the stores not taking the coupons?
- are coupon subscribing sites worth it?
- is it possible to process all those coupons in line with a baby and a pre-schooler or heaven forbid all 5 children in tow!?
I just want to know if you have tried it and been successful or not. For those of you that don't leave comments, email me sj_mayo@msn.com Thanks!
