Slackin

OK so once again I am slacking on my blog posting.  You should know that I am in no way an "extreme couponer".  I do not have a stockpile, and I tend to only get the deals which I know we need or will use.  I have on occasion bought extra things for the purpose of donating or giving away, but for the most part I try to be a "practical couponer".  That being said, most of the time my coupons save me an average of 15-20% on trips to the store.  Not super impressive, but I'm usually not willing to make a bunch of extra trips for the purpose of getting something for "free".  In my eyes, after you do all that driving, with the price of gas, it's not very "free" after all. 

I also hope that in addition to sharing good deals with you all on this blog, that I can share a little bit about how we choose to live frugally.  For example, we did some shopping last weekend and stocked up on groceries.  Our goal is to keep from eating out for a whole week.  I plan to post pics of our meals, but will do that later.

If you have any comments/thoughts/suggestions, please feel free to contact me.  Happy saving!
