Not a big month but we save $8.15 with coupons. So we splurged a little with the Thanksgiving holidays.
I know for a fact that we saved at Sams Club buying diapers, dish soap , Power-aid, and bannans by the bulk.
We also partook in Christmas shopping online this year and have save about $85.00 just by shopping at Amazon. I couldn't believe it at first but with Wal Mart, Target, and a Amazon website open and price comparing just about every kids toys was $5.00 cheaper.
It added up very quick purchasing several kids toys and video games.
A Journal With Coupons was developed to tell a tale of a modern everyday family shopping with coupons.

Let’s face it, saving money with coupons is still saving money!
October coupon saving and rebates
October coupon saving included a total of $21.79 Now it doesn't seem like much for a whole month but every little bit counts.
We where also in the market to purchase a new truck for work. I wanted a new vehicle this time and decided to wait for the year end incentives. Just by asking we saved $3000 on the truck I purchased taken off the MSRP. Then while shopping they also enticed me through the front door with an additional $6000 in rebates. Not doing so well with coupon but another $9000 in saving this month was wonderful.

Saving money in August while using coupons to shop

Saving money in July
On the fabulous month of July we saved $28.07 while shopping with coupons. Every little bit counts while looking at the big picture and saving money. A general rule of thumb for our totals and saving money is usually saving the cost of the taxes on regular grocery and household items.
Not big saving like the coupon Diva's and Kin's of the TLC cable show but the women and men shopping with coupons usually have great ideas to save more money and find more coupons.

Coupon Binder Sleeves - Currency is the favorite style amongst extreme coupon shoppers.
So you have elevated you coupon supply and switch from a small purse coupon organizer to the 3 ring binder coupon organizing system. What size coupon binder sleeve pockets work best for organizing your coupons?
Most coupon shoppers use the currency type binder sleeves. Why?
If you have ever printed a single internet printable coupon you have a vague idea of there size. Very Large in comparison to the local Sunday newspaper coupons. Remember they work just as well when saving money!
20 Coupon Binder Sleeves $10.00
With that in mind I found twenty pages of the currency binder sleeves for $10 on Amazon while shopping for additional items for the wife to make her coupon days a little easier and wanted to pass the saving on to my fellow coupon shoppers.

June Coupon Shopping wasn't so hot but looking at the evidence it wasn't to bad
When the actual numbers came in from coupon shopping with a total saving of $25.24 I asked my wife what happened this month? Her reply was simple! She only went shopping twice this month compared to the regular weekly shopping trips totaling four. Evidently the cabinets where fuller this month and making coupon shopping worth while. Saving basically two weeks of groceries and house hold supplies is a great deal. Guess you could say about $200 was saved on top of our total coupon saving but for the reason of this blog I want keep it in with our monthly totals.
The second quarter (April, May & June) we saved a grand total of $144.32 by using our coupons. One family proving that clipping coupons does help. On a average I would say we save 8% to 15% when purchasing items.

March wasn't the best month in savings but we still saved money while shopping with coupons. The kids have even become more aware of the saving and ask dear old MOM from time to time if she has coupons clipped for what they want to purchase. Now being teenagers they like the candy, snacks, soda, Gatorade/Power Aid and video game coupons to save money. They will even go as far to ask my wife to check before they run to the store.

Are first trip of the third month saved us $18.82 with simple coupon shopping at are local grocery store. As time goes on and we learn how to coupon shop we have started to restrict ourselves and try to purchase only coupon items.
When coupon shopping though it will save you money it is not always the best deal. Many item are lower priced and usually the store will give you a per ounce price when they are listed on the shelves.
