Saving money in August while using coupons to shop

We saved $22.17 while shopping in the month of August this year using coupons from the Sunday newspapers and internet printable coupons.

Not great savings but we have noticed with the kids out of school and being on a couple vacations that we where less likely to use coupon's to shop with coupons while away from the home front.

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.
