On couponing

I never realized you could save so much money with coupons. Sure, I would use the occasional coupon that came my way but I never knew you could get so many through so many different sources. I've always shopped the sales and thought I was doing pretty good when I looked at my savings at the bottom of my receipt. Boy was I wrong! I started full-on couponing around fall of last year. And since then I have become MAJORLY addicted. Just ask my husband, he thinks I'm a complete nerd. I bought a binder and trade coupons online, the whole works! In a couple weeks I'm actually doing a small "seminar" for the ladies of my church on it. Mind you, there are other ways to save and you can probably do just as well if you use a mixture of coupons and making things yourself (bread, canning, etc.) but I'm not quite there yet. I am still a ready-made type girl when it comes to food and if it's quick and easy (and cheap) I'm all over it.
If you want any tips let me know. Rest assured this is not the last you'll hear of my couponing!

Ok, I really should be packing right now (plus my 15 month old son is begging at my legs for Teddy Grahams!) so I must go!
