Linds I looked like an idiot last night for sure .. I mean it took Leigh and I two hours to shop .. I called Emily Nelson to tell her how I did and was laughing so hard from my shopping high I could not even speak ... so much fun!

Emily Nelson said...

Love it! I'm so glad you posted your purchases and took pictures...this is a moment to remember. I am addicted too now. It's like a game and we gotta see how good we can do next week. Also love that I got the histarically laughing phone call.

Awesome job! I've become a coupon clipper myself! It's so awesome to see the amount saved at the bottom of the receipt, right?

Where are you getting coupons from? Any websites?

Rebekah I use couponmom.com ... I get two copies of the AJC paper each week and save the coupon inserts couponmom.com will help you line up coupons with when the items are on sale by grocery store .. it's amazing! Check it out for sure ... and publix always doubles coupons .50 and under and their BOGO offers are great especially when you top the BOGO wih an additional coupon ... there is a serious science to this .. a lady taught a couponing class at our church the other day and I learned so much ... And by the way Hampton is getting so big and is precious .. I love checking your blog for pics:)
