Money Saving Mania....

Okay, my friends here in Macon......or anyone that has seen me since February, probably has heard me talk about this "coupon class" that I went to. But for those that have not heard my spill:

It is bananas.

I have always heard of those people that went shopping and bought $150 worth of groceries for only $50. When I heard that, I always thought either #1: They are probably liars. haha. or #2: They are probably 89 years old and have nothing else to do. Well, I found out that neither of those are true. Couponers are smart, savvy, and super cute gals that just know how to save their family mega mega bucks. : )

Again, it is bananas. I highly recommend that you check out the website: http://www.time2saveworkshops.com/. (I have their link on the right....scroll down and you will see it). Look for any workshops they have coming up that you would be able to go to.....It is well worth the time and money.

Since attending this workshop I have not spent more than about $60-$70 a week.....and many weeks I have spent way less than that. The average American family spends around $150 a week. This week was a high spending week for me b/c we were out of town last week.....I spent about $65 but saved $75. So.....I bought about $140 worth of groceries, diapers, cleaning supplies, etc......and only spent $65. And, I don't spend much time on it at all. Okay, yes, the first few weeks I spent a lot of time on it......but now about 2 months into it, I don't spend much time at all......

AND.....if all of that isn't enough......I lots of times get FREE stuff! Free! And, there are even sometimes deals that MAKE you money!!! The picture at the top was my very first couponing try after attending the workshop. Those are 2 things of Purex laundry detergent that I got for......Free. After leaving workshop, I was excited but still skeptical. After buying laundry detergent for free......I was hooked!

I feel like a dork posting this on my blog.....but, I just thought that some of my sweet friends that read this that I don't talk to everyday might want in on the savings.....

Again, check out that website, or call me and I will be more than happy to explain it all! : )

Last thing: have you ever heard of SwagBucks? It was something I was skeptical of as well......I think free things are usually tricks. : ) All swagbucks is is a search engine, just like google, but you earn money using it. You earn points every day that you use it.....and around 400 points wins you a $5 gift card to Amazon.com. (Or they have Target, Starbucks, Barnes and Noble, etc.). 400 points might seem like a lot to win.......and it still does to me......but, I have only been using Swagbucks for about 5 days and already have 101 points! If you want to sign up for it, click on my link at the top!

Again, I feel silly posting all this.......but I feel as if I just won the lottery and really love sharing my knew knowledge!
