Couponing

I went to the grocery store this week. I bought all store brand items and my bill was STILL over $200! Thankfully it'll last us a few weeks, but still, so annoying.

My friend Elizabeth is this ninja coupon-er. She literally spends $1 instead of $50. I'm not kidding. Check out her blog, The Crafty Charlestonian and read her blog posts. She took pictures of her receipts!

Awhile back I asked her HOW IN THE WORLD do you do this? The Southern Saver's website is so confusing I couldn't figure it out on my own. However Elizabeth was moving and about to have a baby and then I had Austin, so our date to get together so she could show me kept getting pushed back because of life!

Now Elizabeth is teaching her own workshops! For only $10 I'm going to get an awesome 15 page how-to guide and learn how to save hundreds of dollars at Publix, CVS, and Walgreens, and I CAN'T WAIT!

She has couple workshops this month and is already booking up QUICKLY for next month. If you'd like to join me on the 27th or learn to save on another date, visit Elizabeth's blog for details! She asks for you to register so she can get a head count! It's so easy!

I've been "couponing" or Bargain Hunting as alot of people call it for awhile now. I save TONS AND TONS of money doing it. It is time-consuming to do the grocery deals. But worth it. The CVS and Walgreens deals are the easiest. I get razors, shampoo, makeup, toothpaste, toothbrushes etc. for free all the time! So excited that you are going to start!
