Savings idea

Posted in THE HOMESTEAD
Using coupons.
Ok ok, you say, "duh".

At the end of your grocery trip, look at the receipt. It will say "X $'s in coupon savings".
Let's say that number this week is 11.65.

Take 11.65 out of your wallet or out of your account (it has to be cash) and put it in an envelope marked "vacation" or "christmas". Every week, take the amount your grocery receipt says you saved in coupons and add it to that envelope.

IF you save an average of 45.00 a month in coupons (that's average) in one year's time you will have put back $540.00.
You will find that you can save a TON on coupons. Buy one get one.
Places that double your coupons........

For me......saving money is a great idea, but saving for what? You can do all kinds of things to cut costs for the sake of living off less OR you can take the savings, and put it elsewhere to use at a later time!!

Great idea...

You make a very good point. We need to know what we are saving for.
