Starting Out
So, I have always wanted to start a blog but have never been able to figure out what to write about. Not for the lack of ideas but because I have too many of them! Do I write about being a mom to a 2 and 3 yr. old? Do I write about how I was once very successful and had not a worry in the world and then the real estate market crashed and so did my bank accounts? Do I write about my fruitless attempts to lose those 15 pounds, or about all the books I read or about the neighborhood I sell homes in for a builder? No- they all seem too common and it has all been said before. I still will probably throw some of this in here every now and then but right now my passion is coupons and saving money! I have learned so much over the past year on how to cut costs and I get asked about it all the time so now I am just going to lay it all out on this blog! I want to tell you about how there is a time and place for every coupon- you don't just use it the week you get it, you have to sit on it for a bit until it is worth the most! I want to tell you how to organize your coupon book. I want to tell you all the great websites out there for learning about all of this. I want to tell you about how my grocery bill used to be $1600 a month and now I have it down to $500 or less and I have more food in our home than ever!
My first task with this blog is for me to teach you how to organize your coupons. This will be a learning experience for me too because I have yet to master it but I think I have finally figured it out! I can't wait to see how much more I save once I am finally organized! I am a complete mess with it all right now. If I can figure out how to get pictures on this thing you will see for yourself. I have great news too- you do not have to cut coupons! Well, some of them you do but probably a lot less than what you are cutting right now.
Why Coupon Clique? Have you ever noticed when you are at the grocery and you have your coupon book laid out in the shopping cart and then you notice someone else with their coupon book? You kindof nod or smile to each other. Sometimes you even strike up a conversation and you end up comparing books and sharing the best deals. It is immediate acceptance and friendship- like a clique.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog and welcome to my clique!
