Grocery Shopping Crazy

So I have needed something to motivate me to get the grocery shopping done lately; it has been so hard to move around I've just been avoiding it altogether. But last week I went to one of those "Coupon Classes" and wow! I am motivated now!! Not only am I having a blast shopping, I am saving sooooo much money. I'm addicting to trying to beat my last weeks receipt.

So here are my stats: last week I spent around $100 at the grocery store and saved around $60. This week I spent around $80 and Saved around $100!! It's so fun, and once you learn how it is really easy.

Here's the blog for the gal who taught the class I went to: www.sheshopssmart.blogspot.com
If you are interested in having her host a class, it's totally free and lasts about an hour and a half.

Also from her blog there is a link to "Grocery Smarts" which is the site that helps you make your grocery lists. If you want way more detailed info about how to get started saving tons of money on groceries, email me erinmehler@gmail.com and I'll forward you an email I sent one of my friends.

Since I always have to have a picture on my posts, here's a picture of my little coupon/Sunday ad organizer that I put together. It makes this saving money thing so easy!
