I know many of you watch TV in the mornings as you are getting ready for work. On Wednesday morning of last week NBC's Today show had the "Coupon Mom". She was given a shopping list and had her coupons and was to go through a local store and see how much she could save. Well her total bill was $.25. Yes I said 25 cents.
This is fantastic, super, great! If you are living in NYC where apparently her grocery store doubles everything up to $1.00. Ladies, this is not living in reality, first it is not a fair display of the average American household.
As I have shared before I feel the same way about the Grocery Game, yes it is a help and yes use it to help you get started. Once you have used it for a while then try it on your own. Why? Well if you do it yourself YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY A FEE TO YOU. This saves you money. And back to the Today show segment, you have to use what you have in your area. We get triple coupons up to 39 cents and double up to 50 cents. That is what we have to work with. That is why I am always telling you to use your manufacturers coupons with your grocery store coupons to save more money.
OK, I feel a little better getting that off my chest. I just do not want each of you to be discouraged by the "Coupon Mom's" wonderful shopping trip. We do not live in her area, we live here. You can only do what you do in your area.
Now on to something important. My sweet friend Stephanie "Couponing A Mom's Sport" will be teaching a couponing class through Plano's Parks and Rec program. If you live in this area, please check this out. I think it is coming up in March but will keep you posted.
JUST REMEMBER EVERY PENNY YOU SAVE IS A PENNY YOU DID NOT ALREADY HAVE! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
