Check out my savings for the week below:
Confession Time: As I was looking through my receipts to write this post, I found a $3 catalina coupon that expired in February. I don’t know about you, but that’s enough to ruin my whole day.
But then, I took a step back and gave myself some grace. We have had an incredibly busy January and February this year and up until this week, my head has been spinning with my to do list. It’s a wonder I even made it to the grocery store!
The same goes for you. Give yourself grace when life gets too full and there isn’t enough time in the day to clip coupons, let alone use them. Take a week (or two!) off, then start fresh. It will do your frugal heart wonders!
I didn’t get a chance to post last week, so these are my savings from the past two weeks:
Savings from coupons and store sales: $69.14
- I spent $53.47. I saved $69.14.
Savings from ‘Free Money’: $10
- I purchased some birthday presents on Amazon using my Swag Bucks.
TOTAL SAVINGS: $79.14
TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $1041.98

Thank you for posting that. I too found a catalina from the grocery store that when reorganizing my purse by which I was totally bummed ($5). I am still a newbie therefore I have gone from a envelope, coupon organizer, to the binder within 3 months. I had to take a step back because as I was slow on my schedule and snowed in, I found lots of time to this. Now we are entering spring season with sports and things are hectic. I switched to the no clippin folder system for now. I save more by having them in the binder but the folder system is a better way with crazy schedules. Thanks….for posting!
For the first time last week I saw the 2011 YTD savings on the bottom of my Giant food store reciept. $1698.53! And that is only bonus card savings not all my coupons. I get so excited to see that!!! haha
I never use to go to safeway but I’m liking it more and more!
