So I've started couponing...
A few months ago I saw the show "Extreme Couponing." I could not believe the deals people were getting! Hundreds of dollars in grocerys for cash you'd carry in your wallet. I was shocked! And I wanted to know how to do that!
An opportunity came up at the church to attend a couponing class. So I went with a friend. The lady teaching the class made it sound so easy. She bought a few papers, spent a couple hours a week checking the internet and planning her shopping trip.
Well, its not quite that easy. I found it pretty confusing to begin and spent so much time planning that it almost wasn't worth it. But my friend kept reminding me that in a month we'd practically be pros. A month later I'm swinging some pretty slammin' deals!
I get so excited when I pay a buck for a bag of groceries, or get diapers almost free! Here's a few of my best shopping trips...

$7.36 for $66.94 worth of groceries. And the cheese alone was $4.99!
$1.52
$29.19. That's a steal considering 4 packs of diapers would have been $40.
