I’ll get a list figured out, but you’re on it. Yeah, have two kids freshman and 6th grader. I remember reading a book about 12 years ago about being thrifty. It was wayyyyyy to much work. Wayyyyyy tooooo much planning. Would require wayyyy too much storage and filing. I’m not that way. However, I know we are better off than many that make more than us.
My daughter got me started couponing again, after all these years. It takes a bit of time to cut and organize them, but I have been able to get many items FREE or near free by doing so. Walgreens and CVS have great deals with their coupons, manufacurer coupons and store rewards.
