Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
I saw you on the home keepers, and heard you say you saved about$4.00 on $175.00 groceries. How can you do that if each etem has from .25 to maybe $1.00 savings? I have not been able to figure this out.
Hi Jeanette! The best way to spend very little on groceries is to really shop the sales. Meaning, to buy the items that are on sale. But beyond that, you really have to maximize the sale by using coupons. So, each week, I focus on the best deals that my family will use (or that I will give away). And, when there are great deals, I will stock up on them so that I don’t have to pay full price on them for months to come. If you want to check out an example of one of my shopping trips, go HERE. And, I’m not sure what grocery store you shop at but a good place to learn more about couponing is my post Intro to Coupons. Let me know what additional questions I can answer!
I was glad to see you on the show today. I have been spending a lot of time thumbing through 4 separate stacks of inserts to locate my coupons I need…didn’t ever think to stack them up like you showed to cut them all at once. Thanks so much for all your hard work to save us money!
