Savings and more savings!


We had an enrichment for Relief Society about how to save money and cut coupons each month for groceries. A woman from the Daily Herald came and spoke to us. She has been cutting coupons for years and saving a lot on groceries each month. She even gets stuff for free. So I got excited and started doing the same thing. What you do is get coupons from the Sunday paper and online, then you wait for an amazing sale and then use those coupons during the sale. For example Albertsons had a great sale on cereal so I stocked up. I got cereal for about a dollar a box, or less. You can also ask for a rain check and come back when they have the product in stock. The goal is to stock your pantry. I had already stocked up on cereal a couple months ago, so I had to go through all our cereal and organize by expiration date. I decided to take a picture of some of the pile of cereal that we have. At least we could live on dry cereal if we needed to in case of an emergency. We also have canned foods and other necessities too! :)
