I think I’m getting the hang of combining sales prices with a number of coupons to rack up some pretty serious savings overall!  I’ve even been able to start a small stockpile!  Thanks to a wonderful couponing class at my mom’s church (given by Lori Hyde…thanks, lady!) and several online couponing blogs, I’m learning to become a better steward with our household money and I’m also filling my home with food and products that my family needs on a daily basis.  Gotta LOVE those coupons!  If you have any questions about couponing just leave me a comment, and I’ll post my answers for you one day this weekend.

That’s it for today!  Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you back here tomorrow with another card.    Until later…
