Thanks for the washing tip! That's very cool - and I am definitely going to try the homemade Downey spray.
But, I have to brag on myself ... I made my inaugural grocery trip using coupons and preplanning the current sale at Kroger, and I am so proud of myself!
I got a lot of BOGO meats (Sausage, Bacon, Kielbasa, FILET MIGNON!) and I used a LOT of coupons. I got $115.65 worth of groceries for $69.xx!! I was so happy. Before hand, I went to Walgreens to take advantage of the Slimfast shakes that are on sale for 4.99 + I had a 1.50 off coupon. $3.49! I love slimfast and am always drinking it. (BTW - if you do also, then you can call the Slimfast customer service # and they will send you out coupons monthly if you ask them to!)
I have been clipping newspaper coupons, as well as printing them online at coupons.com AND ... I started buying them on eBay! Listen to this -- I got 12 BOGO Subway 6" sub coupons on EB for $4.00 + free ship. AND, I got (30) $3 off any SlimFast product for $3. If I receive those in the mail before the sale is done I am going to stockpile those!
I am very excited with my newfound skill of saving! I feel empowered somehow and I love the feeling.
