It’s no secret that I love everything coupon.  They are an excellent way to make sale prices even sweeter.
And even though I’ve scored a few grand deals of my own, I’ve never come anywhere near what this Mom has, with feeding her family of six on $4.00 a week! (Okay, her way of shopping might include a lot more processed foods than I’d be comfortable with, but it is still a viable strategy to add to your arsenal.)
This girl has got herself some serious skillz:
Cheap Ways To Save On Meals

And if you are looking for a great site to help bring down your grocery bills and scoring the best deals around on just about everything, I simply can’t recommend Pinching Your Pennies highly enough.
I know, and I just got a costco card and I’m so excited to start buying in bulk. Now I just need to get me a freezer to store this stuff in.
GOSH – I can’t even begin to imagine how she does it!! I am terrible at coupons – I clip them and then never remember to bring them with me to the store! I am too disorganized!

She is to be adored, for sure. I love the idea of coupons but always forget about them. I shop sales but haven’t got into the coupon routine. Washington State grocers don’t do doubles or anything cool.
I agree, Tammy – she uses WAY more processed stuff than I would. Good tips, though!
And Astacia – here in Washington, Albertson’s has started putting a couple of “double coupon” coupons in one of their weekly circulars. I guess a little is better than nothing!
