Proverbs 31:16
16She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
Speaking of a women that is enterprising, prudent with money.
With what is going on in each home today wouldn't we all like to sharpened that within ourselves?
This month I was determined to try to cut our grocery bill by $100. Then a few days after that I ran into a friend at Publix. I noticed a binder that she had in her cart. When I asked her about it, she explained what it was how and how she keep all her coupons in order. This was not the first time I had heard of this. But it was the first time I had seen one first hand. I went away feeling motivate to give coupons a try again. Over the next few days I googled "Coupon Binder" and learned all I could. Then spent about 2 hours setting mine up. Then this Sunday I bought a double paper and clipped/filed the coupons. That took about 30 minutes. Then reviewed the Publix add, made a list and off I went. Here is what I bought for $38.16:
- 6 boxes of Cereal
- Pasta
- 2 boxes of fruit snacks
- sandwich bags
- 4 cans of soup
- 4 cans of cream soup
- 2 salad kits
- 2 bags of lettuce
- 3 bags of powder potato's
- dried craisin's
- 2 tubs of whipped butter
- 2 pints of strawberries
- 2 cucumbers
- wheat bread
- Nail Clippers
- 1lb of Sugar
The Sugar was the penny item. Most of every thing else I had coupons for. These are all items that we would have bought in a regular week. But with a savings of $55.53, I felt like I had just climbed a mountain. That is an average of $1.09 an item. Almost as good as going to the Dollar Store!
I hope this has been a encouragement to you. For more Word-Filled Wednesdays visit Amy.
In HIS Mighty Love,
