Daily Saving Habits Add up to Big Change

Here’s my little budgeting tip:

tape your grocery coupons to your grocery list, this way you have them handy and don’t forget which brand you need to buy in order to cash in on those savings.

I average $36.00 in savings per week with coupons and club card savings, it doesn’t sound like much until you add it up; that’s $1,872.00 per year! I reward myself for this diligence by writing a check to my (interest earning) savings account for the amount I save each week, and this becomes our vacation fund.

To have coupons delivered to your computer, check out coupons.com

To The Dance!
