The Challenge Truly Begins!!

Gearing up to go Shopping!!

I have to admit, I have been scared the last week and a half and have just been stockpiling my coupons. I now have 3 weeks worth of coupons to use. I also have a stack of printable coupons that I know need to get used up. My advice for the printable coupons: unless you have a ream of paper, print only what you need. I accidentally refreshed my coupon printing page, and it started printing out 274 coupons---3 coupons to a page!!!!! Thank goodness I started with a fresh ink cartridge :) 

I've got my lists, and I am going shopping!!! I'm going to be hitting all the major stores the next two days. I've been watching the ads for Publix and Winn Dixie and will be going probably tomorrow to at least one of them. I still have to work Monday and Tuesday night, and my darling Hubby (DH) has them off, so we will see how much we actually accomplish!!! 

May Coupon Challenge!!!

Welcome to my new blog on my May Coupon Challenge!!! 

This month I am going to go over my trials and tribulations of the beginning couponer. Just like most of us out there, I want to save money!!! I'd like to consider myself a very frugal person, but I keep asking myself "How can I save more money?" 



We all have things that we would love to do or places that we would love to go. This year my husband & I decided that we wanted to not just go on vacation, but make more memories with our kids. Sure, we have lots of pictures for the scrapbooks. But this year, we want to do something with the kids that they have something to talk about to their kids and grand-kids for years to come. Something besides, "Hey do you remember that one time we went to Grandma's house..."

Yes this is our good old Yukon on a Skiing trip near Grandma's house in Montana!!

So we've made a goal this year to save for a cruise with the kids. I also have plans to visit some of my other family that I haven't seen in a long time. So I have to make at least one cross country trip. These are just a couple of things that we are trying to save for. 



So comment if you have questions or just want to shout out. I'll be trying to post something at least daily. if nothing else than name dropping some of the sites that I've been using to find deals!! Follow me on Facebook, twitter, or Pinterest
