All the totals are before tax. I know that every states has their own sales tax so your total out of pocket expense is going to be different than mine. Hope this starts you on your own couponing adventure. I truly enjoy finding the deals and then coming home and telling my husband about the money that I saved. If you have any questions feel free to comment below and I will try and answer any questions.
where do you get your coupons from? I've seen the couponing show and they get print coupons from online and go dumpster diving for Sunday circular coupons. I'd love to save like this but I have an apartment so I'm not sure that I'd have the space. Do you have any recommendations?
ReplyDeleteLorin, I plan on writing a post explaining how I find all my deals and coupons. I do not go dumpster diving and I don't hoard stuff like the people on that show. I store about 6 months worth of non perishables such as toothbrush, toothpaste, and shampoo. I have moved into a duplex that is way smaller than my house and I am restarting my stock. I store items under my bathroom sink, and for pantry items in my pantry. I think that if you don't go too extreme, you will have room. It might take a little bit of reorganizing.
