“My $800 annual budget and how it works.”

Thanks for posting this Granny. I have been couponing for the past 6 months or so and have also started stockpiling. It has helped a lot with our budget and I have been able to find quite a few things for free. However, our area doesn’t have anywhere that does double or triple coupons, so my savings don’t come close to hers. There are several couponing sites that make the job an easier one - you don’t have to figure out all the deals on your own. They often post the sales a week in advance so you can plan accordingly. I admire this woman for being able to stick to her $800 budget.

(I’m trying to do a mega catch up here. Once the garden is in I should have a bit more time to keep up)

I have used the coupons on and off over the years, it is always a good feeling when they cashier deducts the coupons from the bill.

Try refunding too, Mary and I got quite a lot of money and gifts with that method.

The City dump, LOL, sounds grand for the small town we lived in, but we did find the needed ‘proofs of purchase’, there and it was all free money.
